RF Exposure Information
This Tablet PC meets the government’s requirement for exposure to radio waves. This
Tablet PC is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/Kg.
Test for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted 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. This is because the Tablet PC
is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach
the network. In general, the closer user to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
For body worn operation, this Tablet PC has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions of the handset
minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. User of other enhancements may not ensure compliance
with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If user do not use a body-worn accessory and are not
holding the PDA at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when
the device is switched on.
