Health and safety information
Exposureto Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the
engineering experts drawn from industry, government,
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the
the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC
requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using recommended operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined
