• Disposal of the device and its accessories is subject to local regulations. Support proper collection and recycling.

Disposal and recycling information

This symbol (with or without a solid bar) on the device, batteries (if included), and/or the packaging, indicates that the device and its electrical accessories (for example, a headset, adapter, or cable) and batteries should not be disposed of as household garbage. These items should not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste and should be taken to a certified collection point for recycling or proper disposal.

For more detailed information about device or battery recycling, contact your local city office, household waste disposal service, or retail store.
Disposal of the device and batteries (if included) is subject to WEEE Directive Recast (Directive 2012/19/EU) and Battery Directive (Directive 2006/66/EC). The purpose of separating WEEE and batteries from other waste is to minimize the potential environmental impacts and human health risk of any hazardous substances that may be present.

This device is compliant with the REACH Regulation
[Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006] and RoHS Directive Recast (Directive 2011/65/EU). Batteries (if included) are compliant with the Battery Directive (Directive
2006/66/EC). For up-to-date information about REACH and RoHS compliance, please visit the web site http://consumer.huawei.com/certification.

EU regulatory conformance
Body worn operation
The device complies with RF specifications when used at a distance of 0.5 cm from your body. Ensure that the device accessories, such as a device case and device holster, are not composed of metal components. Keep the device away from your body to meet the distance requirement.

Certification information (SAR)
This device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

Your device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. As recommended by international guidelines, the device is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves. These guidelines were developed by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), an independent scientific organization, and include safety measures designed to ensure the safety of all users, regardless of age and health.
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a device. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level during operation can be well below the value. This is because the device is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.
The SAR limit adopted by Europe is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue, and the highest SAR value for this device complies with this limit.
The highest SAR value reported for this device type when tested in portable exposure conditions is 1.45 W/kg.
