Certicationinformation(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 scientic 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
measurement known as the Specic 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 certied power level in all tested
frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device can
be below the maximum value because the device is designed to
use only the power required to reach the network.
Compliance with International Standarts 68
This equipment complies with the European Council
Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the Limitation of Exposure
of the General Public to Electromagnetic Fields [1999/519/EC].
