Address: 16535 Via Esprillo, San Diego, CA 92127 U.S.A. Telephone Number: 858-942-2230 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE: This unit 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 unit 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 unit does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the unit 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 unit and r eceiver. •Connect the unit into an outlet on a circuit diff erent from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV t echnician for help. This unit must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This unit complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This unit has very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption rate (SAR). This conformity statement is only applicable to the YY2959/ YY2960. For customers in Canada This unit contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This unit may not cause interference; and (2) This unit must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the unit. The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The unit has been tested and found to comply with ISED …

Sony Global Manufacturing & Operations Corporation EMC/RF Test Laboratory, Main Lab. 8- 4 Shiomi Kisarazu-shi Chiba-ken, 292-0834, Japan Date: March 7, 2022 FCC ID : AK8YY2960 Applicant : Sony Group Corporation SAR Evaluation Exemption To whom it may concern, We, Sony Global Manufacturing & Operations Corporation EMC/RF Test Laboratory, Main Lab., hereby declare that Wireless Gaming Headset, model: YY2960 (FCC ID: AK8YY2960) of Sony Corporation is exempt from RF exposure SAR evaluation, as its output power meets the exclusion limits, stated in FCC Part 2 §2.1093. According to KDB 447498 D01 (v06), section 4.3.1: ... These test exclusion conditions are based on source-based time-averaged (i.e. frame averaged) maximum conducted output power of the RF channel requiring evaluation, adjusted for tune-up tolerance, and the minimum test separation distance required for the exposure conditions. ... The 1-g and 10-g SAR test exclusion thresholds for 100 MHz to 6 GHz at test separation distances ≤ 50 mm are determined by: [(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW) / (min. test separation distance, mm)] • [√f(GHz)] ≤ 3.0 for 1-g SAR and ≤ 7.5 for 10-g extremity SAR, where • f(GHz) is the RF channel transmit frequency in GHz • Power and distance are rounded to the nearest mW and mm before calculation • The result is rounded to one decimal place for comparison The test exclusions are applicable only when the minimum test separation distance is ≤ 50 mm and for transmission frequencies between 100 MHz and 6 GHz. When the minimum test separation distance is < 5 mm, a distance of 5 mm is applied to determine SAR test exclusion. For above device, Regarding Bluetooth BR/EDR; f = 2.48 GHz, distance = 5mm, the max. possible duty cycle = 77.0 % = -1.14 dB, (* xDH5: The maximum duty cycle of 77.0 % is declared by the client.) the max. possible burst averaged power incl. tune-up tolerance = 6.50 dBm, and the max. possible frame averaged power incl. tune-up tolerance = 6.50 + (-1.14) = 5.36 dBm = 3.43 mW ≈ 3 mW. Therefore, 3 mW / 5 mm * ( √ 2.48 GHz) = 0.9 < 3.0 and no SAR evaluation is required. Sony Global Manufacturing & Operations Corporation EMC/RF Test Laboratory, Main Lab. 8- 4 Shiomi Kisarazu-shi Chiba-ken, 292-0834, Japan Regarding Bluetooth Low Energy; f = 2.48 GHz, distance = 5mm, the max. possible duty cycle = 100 % = 0.00 dB, the max. possible burst averaged power incl. tune-up tolerance = 4.60 dBm, and the max. possible frame averaged power incl. tune-up tolerance = 4.60 + (0.00) = 4.60 dBm = 2.88 mW ≈ 3 m W. Therefore, 3 mW / 5 mm * ( √ 2.48 GHz) = 0.9 < 3.0 and no SAR evaluation is required. Regarding simultaneous transmission of Bluetooth BR/EDR and Bluetooth Low Energy; the max. possible frame averaged power incl. tune-up tolerance = 3.43 mW + 2.88 mW = 6.31 mW ≈ 6 mW Therefore, 6 mW / 5 mm * ( √ 2.48 GHz) = 2.0 < 3.0 and no SAR evaluation is required.
