* Disclaimer:
Prolonged display of static or high-contrast images may result in image persistence or burning on OLED display. ASUS Notebook PC with OLED display (on selected models) minimizes the potential of burn-in by setting Dark Mode in Windows as default and shortening the idle time before the screen is turned off. It is recommended to enable an animated dark-background screensaver and avoid setting your OLED display at maximum brightness to extend the lifespan of your OLED display.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device 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.
The exposure standard for wireless devices 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 device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Simplified EU Declaration of Conformity
ASUSTek Computer Inc. hereby declares that this device is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at https://www.asus.com/support/.
The WiFi operating in the band 5150-5350 MHz shall be restricted to indoor use in countries listed in the table below:

Simplified UKCA Declaration of Conformity
ASUSTek Computer Inc. hereby declares that this device is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of The Radio Equipment Regulations 2017 (S.I. 2017/1206). The full text of the UKCA declaration of conformity is available at https://www.asus.com/support/.
The WiFi operating in the band 5150-5350 MHz shall be restricted to indoor use in the country listed below: UK
RF Exposure information (SAR)
This device meets the EU requirements (2014/53/EU) on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientific organizations through regular and thorough evaluations of scientific studies. The unit of measurement for the European Council’s recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Specific Absorption Rate” (SAR), and the SAR limit is 2.0 W/Kg averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
For next-to-body operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNIRP exposure guidelines and the European Standard EN 50566 and EN 62209-2. SAR is measured with the device directly contacted to the body while transmitting at the highest certified output power level in all frequency bands of the mobile device.
A minimum separation distance of 1 cm must be maintained between the user’s body and the device, including the antenna during body-worn operation to comply with the RF exposure requirements in Europe.
Federal Communications Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
