WHIT100 has not been shown to comply with any hearing aid compatibility requirements when using the GSM air interface and is not configured to use the GSM air interface in the United States. Hearing aid or cochlear implant users should note this fact and consult the service provider about return and exchange policies should such operation prove to be unacceptable.

SAR Information

Head: 1.180 W/kg @10g (CE), 1.340 W/kg @1g (FCC)

Body: 0.982 W/kg @10g (CE), 0.467 W/kg @1g (FCC)

THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the HTC Corporation accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Your wireless mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. 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 both U.S. and 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 phone 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*.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ GenericSearch.cfm after searching on FCC ID: NM8WHIT100. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web-site as http:// www.phonefacts.net.

*In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phone used by the public is 1.6 Watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in usage.

Normal condition only to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm must be maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.
