IMPORTANT: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized could

void the EMC and wireless compliance and negate your authority to operate the

product. This product has demonstrated EMC compliance under conditions that

included the use of compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables between

system components. It is important that you use compliant peripheral devices

and shielded cables between system components to reduce the possibility of

causing interference to radios, televisions, and other electronic devices.

Certification information (SAR)

The device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves. Your
device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the
independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety
margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regard-
less of age and health.

The exposure guidelines for devices employ a unit of measurement

known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stat-
ed in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC 88
over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using stand-
ard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR
level of an operating device can be below the maximum value
because the device is designed to use only the power required to
reach the network.

This equipment complies with the European Council Recommen-

dation of 12 July 1999 on the Limitation of Exposure of the Gen-
eral Public to Electromagnetic Fields [1999/519/EC].

FCC ID: 2AUVWPB633

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

15.21 Information to the user.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC 88
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
for 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

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guaran-

tee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television re-

ception, 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.

• Connecting the equipment to a socket on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Contact with the provider or a radio f TV technician for help.

Specific absorption rate (SAR):

This PocketBook Color meets the government’s require-
ments for exposure to radio waves. The guidelines are
based on standards developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a margin of safety
designed to ensure the safety of all people regardless of
their age or health.
The FCC Statement of Exposure to RF and the SAR limit for
the United States (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg average for each gram
of tissue. This device was tested for typical operations of
use on the body, with the back of the phone at 0 mm from
the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, use accessories that maintain a distance of
0 mm between the user’s body and the back of the phone.
The use of belt clips, covers and similar accessories must
not contain metallic components in their assembly. The
use of accessories that do not meet these requirements
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC 99
may not meet FCC RF exposure requirements and should
be avoided.

Functioning in the body

This device was tested for typical operations of use in the
body. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a mini-
mum separation distance of 0mm must be maintained
between the user’s body and the telephone, including the
antenna. Third-party accessories such as belt clips. covers
and similar accessories used with this device should not
contain metallic components, accessories that do not meet
these RF exposure requirements and should be avoided
from use on the body. Use only the supplied antenna or an
approved antenna.
