Certicationinformation(SAR)

The device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves

Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not

to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended

COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

81

by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed

by the independent scientic organization ICNIRP and include

safety margins designed to assure the protection of all per­sons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure guidelines for devices employ a unit of measure-

ment known as the Specic Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR
limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are

conducted using standard operating positions with the device

transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested

frequency bands.

This equipment complies with the European Council Recom-

mendation of 12 July 1999 on the Limitation of Exposure of
the General Public to Electromagnetic Fields [1999/519/EC].
