RF Exposure Information (SAR):

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device 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 employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
EUT transmitting at the specified power level in different channels

.

The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC is 0.612 W/kg when
placed next to the body.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of

www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:

POTPRD09TW.

This device is compliance with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure
limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the
