EU Regulations

Declaration of Conformity in accordance with the Radio Equipment Directive (RED)

Xiaomi Communications Co., Ltd. hereby declares that this GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/LTE digital mobile phone with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi functions 23028RN4DG complies with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: www.mi.com/en/certification

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device complies with the specific absorption rate (SAR) limits for the general population/uncontrolled exposure (localized SAR value for 10 grams of head and trunk, limit: 2.0 W/kg) as defined in the Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC, ICNIRP guidelines, and the Radio Equipment Directive (RED, Directive 2014/53/EU).

During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure during use next to the head and 5 mm away from the body. Compliance with SAR limits for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 5 mm between the device and the human body. This device should be worn at a minimum distance of 5 mm from your body to ensure that the RF exposure level is in accordance with the reported level or lower. If you wear the device close to your body, you should use belt clips or holsters that do not contain metal parts and allow the device to be kept at a minimum distance of 5 mm from your body. RF exposure has not been tested or certified with body-worn accessories containing metal, so you should avoid using such accessories.

SAR Certification Information (Highest SAR Level)

SAR limit 10 g: 2.0 W/kg.

SAR value: Head: 0.897 W/kg, Body: 0.997 W/kg (5 mm distance).

Legal Information

This device may be used in all EU member states. Observe national and local regulations applicable at the place of device use. The usability of this device may be limited depending on the network operator.

Wi-Fi connectivity (including Wi-Fi frequency bands, Wi-Fi standards, and other features approved in IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications) may vary depending on regional availability and local network support. The feature may be added through automatic (OTA) updates if available.

This mobile phone has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that such interference will not occur under certain installation conditions. If this device does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the device and the receiver.
• Connect the device to a different electrical circuit than the receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device complies with government requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device has been designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for radio frequency (RF) energy exposure. The exposure standards for wireless devices employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).

The SAR limit defined by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. This device has been tested for body-worn operation and complies with FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal and positions the device a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Body-worn RF exposure compliance has not been tested or certified with body-worn accessories containing metal, so you should avoid using such accessories. Any accessory used with this device for body-worn use must maintain the device at a minimum distance of 1.5 cm from the body.

FCC Note

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Shielded cables must be used with this equipment to ensure compliance with FCC Class B limits.
