The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at: www.mi.com/en/certification

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device complies with Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limits for general population/uncontrolled exposure (Localized 10-gram SAR for head and trunk, limit: 2.0W/kg) as specified in Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC, ICNIRP Guidelines, and RED (Directive 2014/53/EU).

During SAR testing, the device transmitted at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands and was placed in positions simulating RF exposure during use against the head (no separation) and near the body (5 mm separation).

SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation distance of 5 mm between the unit and the human body. The device should be carried at least 5 mm away from the body to ensure RF exposure levels are compliant or lower than reported levels. When attaching the device near the body, use a belt clip or holster that does not contain metallic components and maintains at least 5 mm separation. RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory containing metal was not tested or certified, and use of such accessories should be avoided. Any accessory used for body-worn operation must keep the device a minimum of 1.5 cm away from the body.
