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. Additionally, please seek advice from your physician about the potential effects of RF interference from your HP iPAQ upon the medical device you are using. 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 W/kg*. 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 0.59 W/kg (10 g). The highest non-FCC SAR value for this device when tested for use at the body is 1.2 W/kg (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.

*The non-FCC SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/Kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.

Wireless Notices

In some environments, the use of wireless devices may be restricted. Such restrictions may apply aboard airplanes, in hospitals, near explosives, in hazardous locations, etc. If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of this device, please ask for authorization to use it prior to turning it on.

Precaution for the use of the device

To limit exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields, the following precautions should be considered:

●Mobile phone should be used in good reception conditions.

●Headset devices should be used to keep the mobile phone away from head and body.
