Notices for the Use of Your Phone

Your phone should be treated with care. The following suggestions can help you extend the life of your mobile phone:

1. Place the mobile phone and its parts and components out of reach of young children.
2. Keep the phone dry. Rain, humidity, and all types of liquids containing minerals will corrode electronic circuits.
3. Do not touch the phone with wet hands when charging; it will cause an electric shock or damage the phone.
4. Avoid placing the device in high-temperature environments. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
5. Avoid placing the device in a low-temperature environment. When the temperature rises, the phone will produce water vapor that may damage electronic circuits.
6. Avoid placing the phone in dusty, dirty places, otherwise parts may be damaged.
7. Avoid placing the phone near a lit cigarette, open flame, or any heat source.
8. Do not drop, knock, or shake the phone. Rough handling can damage internal circuit boards.
9. Do not paint the phone. The paint may block headphones, microphones, or other removable parts, and cause them not to work.
10. Use a clean, soft, dry cloth to clean the camera and light sensor lenses. Prohibit the use of harmful chemicals and cleaning agents to clean the phone.
11. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 5 mm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference. (When the device is used in the USA, the separation distance can be maintained at 10 mm between the user's body and the handset). To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
12. Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
13. Turn off your mobile phone or wireless devices when in a blasting area or in areas posted to turn off "two-way radios" or "electronic devices" to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
14. There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

SAR Information Statement

The SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. Device types: smartphone (FCC ID: 2AQRM-A551) has also been tested against this SAR limit. The highest SAR value for this mobile phone tested is 0.935W/kg against the head and 0.417W/kg at 10mm from the body.

FCC Warning

15.19 Labeling requirements

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

15.21 Information to user

Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

15.105 Information to the user

Note: This equipment 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 equipment 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 interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment 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 equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into 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.

Absorption Rate (SAR) Information

This device meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons regardless of age or health.

FCC RF Exposure Information and Statement

The SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the device kept 10mm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain an appropriate separation distance between the user's body and the back of the device. The use of belt clips, holsters, and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)

ANSI C63.19-2019 HAC RF Categories: The ANSI standard presents performance requirements for acceptable hearing aid interoperability with wireless communication devices. When these parameters are met, a hearing aid functions acceptably very close to a wireless communication device.

FCC Regulations for Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) for Wireless Devices: The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established requirements for digital wireless mobile devices to be compatible with hearing aids and other assistive listening devices. When people who use certain assistive listening devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants) use wireless mobile devices, they may detect a humming, buzzing, or whistling sound. Some hearing aids are more immune to this interference noise than others, and mobile devices also vary in the amount of interference they generate.

The wireless telephony industry has developed a rating system for wireless mobile devices to help hearing device users find mobile devices that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all mobile devices have been rated. Mobile devices that are rated have the rating on their packaging or a label located on the packaging.

Ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to successfully use a rated mobile device. Testing the mobile device with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

The mobile phone is hearing aid compatible. The lowest conversational gain is 18.68 dB with a hearing aid and 18.47 dB without a hearing aid. The conversational gain complies with the exemption (DA 23-914).

Important Usage Notes

• Use the smartphone in an environment with the temperature between -10°C to +45°C (+14°F to +113°F).
• Use the earphone carefully. Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.
• The product shall only be connected to a USB interface of version USB2.0.
