●For your own safety, before using headsets or earphones, always reset the volume. Some headphones are louder than other headphones, even if the volume control setting is the same.

●Changing the default audio or equalizer settings might lead to higher volume and should only be done with caution.

●Headsets or earphones used with this device should comply with the headphone limits in EN 50332-2.

●HP recommends using the headset delivered with your iPAQ (part number 455673-001) that is in compliance with EN 50332-1.

Airline Travel Notice

Use of electronic equipment aboard commercial aircraft is at the discretion of the airline.

Medical Electronic Equipment

If you have a medical condition that requires you to use a pacemaker, hearing aid, or any type of medical electronic equipment, consult the manufacturer of the equipment to determine if the medical equipment is shielded from RF energy. Turn off your HP iPAQ in health care facilities or hospitals when there are posted restrictions requiring you to do so.

SAR Notice

THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 mW/g*. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.

In general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power output of the device. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person. The highest non-FCC SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is 0.785 mW/g (10 g).

This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when positioned away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation other than the HP belt clip supplied with the product, it should not contain metal.
