WARNING! Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone 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 level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone 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 wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna should be minimized. No metallic body accessories are allowed and 1.5 cm spacing between your HP iPAQ Glisten and the body must be maintained to satisfy RF Exposure.

This device has been tested and demonstrated compliance when Bluetooth, WLAN, and mobile phone are transmitting simultaneously. The highest FCC SAR value for this device when tested for use at the head is 1.25 W/kg and when tested for use at the body is 1.08 W/kg. This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Functionality for People who use Hearing Aids

Your HP iPAQ Glisten supports the Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) functionality, which helps people who use hearing aids to hear audio output. When this feature is enabled, the HP iPAQ Glisten transmits magnetic signals in addition to audio signals. These magnetic signals allow people using hearing aids to hear the audio signals better.
