Modifications

The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to the device that are not expressly approved by HTC Corporation may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Safety precautions for RF exposure

Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not contain any metal.

Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by international standards bodies:

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992

National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996

Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a
