SAR Limits
This device has been tested and meets applicable limits for Radio Frequency (RF)
exposure.

The frequency and maximum transmitted power in EU are listed as bellows:
2412 - 2472 MHz: 19.36 dBm

Transfer Rate 802.11b: up to 11Mbps
              802.11g: up to 54Mbps
              802.11n: up to 72.2 Mbps

The exposure standards for wireless devices employ a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6 W/kg. The
SAR limit recommended by the Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg. This device’s

Other Safety Information
1. The RF signals generated by your device can cause interference with or malfunction
to medical devices such as pacemakers or hearing aids, including the potential for
serious injury. If you have any concerns about using your Kobo device in proximity to
any medical devices, please consult the manufacturer of the medical device in question.

2. Certain locations, such as health care facilities or construction sites, may be put at risk
when radio frequency (RF) signals are generated, including through use of the wireless
functionality on your device. If you see signs and other material requesting that two-way
radios or cellular phones should be turned off, please turn off the wireless connection of
your device in these areas.

3. This Kobo device has been tested to comply with specific absorption rate (SAR) limits
as a body worn device. The maximum allowable level for the European Union is 2.0
W/kg and operation of this device is below that value. To reduce RF exposure, keep
your device at a separation distance of 1.5cm from your body, especially when
transmitting wireless data. 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.

4. Do not open or attempt to repair your device, including repair or replacement of the
lithium ion battery in this device; contact Kobo Support for any repair and/or battery-
related safety concerns.

5. It is recommended to only use Kobo adapters or chargers that are specifically
designed or approved for your Kobo device. Do not use your adapter if the cord or plug

6. Avoid exposing your device to fire and other direct heat, including hair dryers,
microwave ovens and other appliances.

7. As this device contains small components that could lead to a choking hazard for
small children, Kobo recommends that you do not open the device for any reason,
including repair.

8. Avoid storing your device in temperatures lower than -10 °C and higher than 60 °C (14
°F to 140 °F). Operation of the device should occur in temperatures between 0 °C and
45 °C (32 °F to 113 °F). Dramatic changes in temperature or humidity may affect the
functioning of the device due to the formation of condensation.
