Certification 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
by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by
the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety
margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regard-
less of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for devices employ a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stat-
ed in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using stand-
ard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR
level of an operating device can be below the maximum value
Page 96
Compliance with International Standards 96
because the device is designed to use only the power required to
reach the network.
This equipment complies with the European Council Recommen-
dation of 12 July 1999 on the Limitation of Exposure of the Gen-
eral Public to Electromagnetic Fields [1999/519/EC].
