EU SAR Notice
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your 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 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
device 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 EU SAR value for this device
when tested for use at the body is 0.434 W/kg.
*The EU SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 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 on board 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

Health and Safety
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electric shock, fire, and damage to the equipment,
observe the safety precautions in this document.
Acoustics Warning
WARNING! Listening to this device at high volume levels and for extended
durations may damage your hearing. In order to reduce the risk of damage to
hearing, you should lower the volume to a safe, comfortable level, and reduce the
amount of time listening at high levels.
• For your own safety, before using headsets or earphones, always reset he 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.
• HP recommends using the headset delivered with your device or offered through HP as
aftermarket options that are in compliance with EN 50332-1 and EN 50332-2.
General Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. Read this
information before using your device. For the safe and efficient operation of your device,
observe these guidelines:
Potentially explosive atmospheres: Turn off your device when you are in any areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, such as fuelling areas (gas or petrol stations, below deck
on boats), storage facilities for fuel or chemicals, blasting areas and areas near electrical
blasting caps, and areas where there are chemicals or particles (such as metal powders,
grains and dust) in the air.
Interference to personal medical equipment: If you use personal medical equipment, consult
the equipment manufacture to determine if it is shielded from RF signals emission from your
device.
Audio safety: This device is capable of producing loud noises which may damage your
hearing. playing music, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent
noise-induced hearing loss. When using the speakerphone feature, it is recommended that
you place your device at a safe distance from your ear. Other medical devices, hospitals: If
you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your doctor may be able to
assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your device OFF in health care facilities when
any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
