  • When charging your ASUS Phone through your computer, ensure that you plug the USB cable into your computer’s USB port.
  • Avoid charging your ASUS Phone in an environment with an ambient temperature of above 35ºC (95ºF).

NOTES:

  • For safety purposes, use ONLY the bundled power adapter and cable to avoid damaging your device and prevent the risk of injury.
  •  For safety purposes, use ONLY the bundled power adapter and cable to charge your ASUS Phone.
  • The input voltage range between the wall outlet and this adapter is AC 100V – 240V. The output voltage of the AC power adapter for this device is +5V- 10V 3A, 30W.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device has been tested and meets applicable limits for Radio Frequency (RF) exposure.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. SAR limits are 1.6 Watts per kilogram (over a volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue) in countries that follow the United States FCC limit and 2.0 W/kg (averaged over 10 grams of tissue) in countries that follow the Council of the European Union limit. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free accessory or other similar option to keep this device away from your head and body. Carry this device at least 15 mm away from your body to ensure exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels. Choose the belt clips, holsters, or other similar body-worn accessories which do not contain metallic components to support operation in this manner. Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device, including its compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been tested or certified, and use of such accessories should be avoided.

The highest FCC SAR values for the device (ASUS_I006D) are as follows:

  • 1.18 W/Kg @1g (Head)
  • 1.15 W/Kg @1g (Body)

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure uidelines.
SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC
ID: MSQI006D.

Canada, Industry Canada (IC) Notices
