emission limits for exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined
at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the device while operating can be well below
the maximum value. Because the device is designed to
operate at multiple power levels to use only the power
required to reach the network, in general, the closer you
are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on
the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this device when worn
on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.00 W/kg. (body-worn measurements differ among
