EU Regulations

Radio Equipment Directive Compliance Statement

Xiaomi Communications Co., Ltd. hereby declares that this digital mobile phone with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi network function, model 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

Radio Frequency Exposure Information (Specific Absorption Rate, SAR)

This device complies with the general population/uncontrolled exposure specific absorption rate (SAR) limits (localized specific absorption rate of 10 grams for head and trunk, limit: 2.0 W/kg) indicated in the Council Recommendations 1999/519/EC, ICNIRP Guidelines, and the Radio Equipment 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 radio frequency exposure during head use without a gap and near the body with a 5 mm gap.

Body-worn operating compliance is based on a separation distance of 5 mm between the device and the human body. This device should be worn at least 5 mm away from the body to ensure that the radio frequency exposure level is at or below the reported level. When using the device near the body, use a belt clip or holster that does not contain metal components to ensure a separation distance of at least 5 mm between the device and the body. Compliance with radio frequency exposure has not been tested or certified with any body-worn accessory containing metal, and the use of such body-worn accessories should be avoided. Any body-worn accessory used with this device must maintain a separation distance of at least 5 mm from the body.

Certifications Information (Highest Specific Absorption Rate)

SAR limit for 10 g: 2.0 W/kg, SAR value: Head: 0.897 W/kg; Body: 0.997 W/kg (5 mm separation).

Legal Information

This device can be operated in all EU member countries. Observe national and local regulations of the countries where the device is used. The usability of this device may be restricted depending on the operator.

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Radio Frequency Exposure Information (Specific Absorption Rate, SAR)

This device meets government requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency energy. The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.

The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. For body-worn operation, this device has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and is positioned a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. FCC RF exposure compliance for body-worn operation is not tested or certified with any body-worn accessory containing metal, and the use of such body-worn accessories should be avoided. Any body-worn accessory used with this device must maintain a minimum separation 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 unit to ensure compliance with FCC Class B limits.
