Certification information (SAR)

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 International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP),
an independent scientific organization, and include safety
measures designed to ensure the safety of all users,
regardless of age 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 during operation can be

where you purchased

well below the value. This is because the device is designed
to use the minimum power required to reach the network.
The SAR limit adopted by India is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for
this device is 1.06 W/kg.
