Users Manual

iPhone SAR statement: iPhone 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. The SAR limit is 1.6 watts per kilogram in countries that set the limit averaged over 1 gram of tissue and 2.0 watts per kilogram in countries that set the limit averaged over 10 grams of tissue. During testing, iPhone radios are set to their highest transmission levels and placed in positions that simulate uses against the head, with no separation, and when worn or carried against the torso of the body, with 5mm separation. To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free option, such as the built-in speakerphone, the supplied headphones, or other similar accessories. 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. Although this device has been tested to determine SAR in each band of operation, not all bands are available in all areas. Bands are dependent on your service provider’s wireless and roaming networks. RF Exposure Web Page: https://www.apple.com/legal/rfexposure iPhone SAR Statement (French Canada): L’iPhone a été testé et respecte les limites applicables d’exposition aux radiofréquences (RF). L’expression « Débit d’absorption spécifique », ou DAS, fait référence au taux d’absorption d’énergie RF par le corps humain. La valeur limite du DAS est de 1,6 watt par kilogramme dans les pays ayant fixé la limite pour une moyenne d’un gramme de tissu, et de 2 watts dans les pays ayant fixé la limite pour une moyenne de dix grammes de tissu. Durant les tests de DAS, les radios de l’iPhone sont réglées sur le niveau de transmission maximal et sont placées dans des positions simulant des utilisations contre la tête, sans séparation, et contre le torse, avec une séparation de 5 mm. Pour réduire l’exposition à l’énergie RF, utilisez une option mains libres, telle que le haut-parleur intégré, les écouteurs inclus ou d’autres accessoires similaires. Il se peut que les étuis comportant des pièces métalliques modifient les performances RF de l’appareil, y compris son respect des normes d’exposition aux radiofréquences, d’une manière n’ayant été ni testée, ni certifiée. Bien que cet appareil ait été testé pour déterminer le DAS pour chaque bande de fréquence de fonctionnement, toutes les bandes de fréquence ne sont pas disponibles partout. Elles dépendent des réseaux d’itinérance et sans fil de votre fournisseur de services.

 Apple Inc. One Apple Park Way Cupertino, CA v1.1 www.apple.com Date: December 9, 2019 Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology Laboratory Division 7435 Oakland Mills Rd. Columbia MD 21046 Subject: Request for Confidentiality Ref: FCC ID numbers Model(s) FCC ID A2275, A2297, A2298 BCG-E3500A A2296 BCG-E3501A To whom it may concern: Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commission’s rules (47 CFR §§ 0.457, 0.459), Apple Inc. hereby requests confidential treatment for documents filed with the Commission in connection with the application for equipment authorization referenced above. Permanent Confidentiality Apple Inc. requests that the Commission withholds the following documents from public viewing indefinitely: • Block Diagrams • Electrical Schematic Diagrams • Technical Descriptions, Product Specifications • Antenna Gain, Antenna Locations, Tune-up Procedure • Software Security Description These documents reveal detailed technical and design information that is protected by Apple Inc. as confidential and proprietary trade secrets. This information has been disclosed to those required to maintain its confidentiality and is not customarily disclosed to the public even after commercial release of a device. As a result, disclosure of this information by the Commission would harm Apple Inc. by giving competitors an unfair advantage even after commercial release of the device. Short Term Confidentiality  Apple Inc. One Apple Park Way Cupertino, CA v1.1 www.apple.com In addition to the above mentioned documents, pursuant to Public Notice DA 04-1705 of the Commission’s policy, in order to comply with the marketing regulations in 47 CFR §2.803 and the importation rules in 47 CFR §2.1204, while ensuring that business sensitive information remains confidential until the actual marketing of newly authorized devices, Apple Inc. requests that the Commission withholds the following documents from public viewing for one hundred eighty days after the date the grant of equipment authorization is issued: • External Photographs • Internal Photographs • Test Setup Photographs • User Manual These documents reveal technical and design information that has not been publicly disclosed in marketing materials and is protected by Apple Inc. as confidential and proprietary trade secrets. This information has been disclosed to those required to maintain its confidentiality and is not customarily disclosed publicly prior to the commercial release of the device. As a result, disclosure of this information by the Commission prior to commercial release would harm Apple Inc. by giving competitors an unfair market advantage. Apple Inc. believes the period of confidentiality requested is necessary to protect the information until the commercial release of a device. It is our understanding that measurement test reports and FCC ID label format cannot be granted as confidential documents and this information will be available for public review once the grant of equipment authorization is issued. Sincerely, ____________________ Abhishek Rala Apple Inc. Global Certification Manager [email protected]
