Certication 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 rec-
ommended 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 mea-
surement 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 re-
quired to reach the network.
Compliance with International Standards 84
The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP
EU 10g SAR Limit Highest 10g SAR Value
2 W/kg 0.678 W/kg
This equipment compies with the European Council
Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the Limitation of
Exposure of the General Public to Electromagnetic Fields
[1999/519/EC].
