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 by international guide­lines. These guidelines were developed by the inde-

pendent scientic organization ICNIRP and include

Compliance with International Standards 80

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 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. 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.
