Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by Shanghai Huace Navigation Technology Ltd. may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment. NOTE: 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:  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. The SAR limit adopted by USA (FCC) is 1.6 Watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. Device types (FCC ID: SY4-B01004) has also been tested against this SAR limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for 2G/3G mode is 0.227 W/kg. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for 2.4GHz WLAN mode is 0.956 W/kg. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for simultaneous mode is 1.183 W/kg. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the handset kept 0 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 0 cm separation distance between the user’s body and the back of handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
