This device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. As recommended by
international guidelines, the device is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to
radio waves. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization International Commission on non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)

and health.
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio
frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a device. The SAR value is
determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual
SAR level of the device when being operated can be well below the value. This is
because the device is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the
network.
The SAR limit also adopted by Europe is 2.0 W/kg av eraged over 10 gr ams of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this device type when tested at the ear is 0.248 W/kg, and
when properly worn on the body is 0.424 W/kg.
