CE SAR Compliance

This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/ EC) on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection.

The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientific organizations through regular and thorough evaluations of scientific studies. The unit of measurement for the European Council's recommended limit for mobile devices is the "Specific Absorption Rate" (SAR), and the SAR limit is 2.0 W/ kg averaged over 10 gram of body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNIRP exposure guidelines and the European Standard EN 62311 and EN 62209-2, for use with dedicated accessories. Use of other accessories which contain metals may not ensure compliance with ICNIRP exposure guidelines.

EU Conformance

The following CE compliance information is applicable to this device that carry the following CE mark:

FCC

FCC Regulations:

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on. The user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.

This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.39 W/kg for GSM850 / 1.23 W/kg for PCS1900 (Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.)

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: NZI802111A.

This device is compliant with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C.

For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 0.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the device at the ear, position the handset a mini-

mum of 0.5 cm from your body when the device is switched on.

How to Hold the Receiver

Switching to Suspend Mode

Tracking satellites with your receiver requires that you use the receiver outdoor and hold it in an appropriate manner.

The receiver will have the best view of the sky when you hold it at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees (38° ideally) from horizontal and not too close to your body.

You can check that your receiver is tracking enough satellites by running the GNSS Toolbox, and more particularly the GNSS Status function (see GNSS Status on page 33). When enough satellites are tracked, you can start using your receiver and run your application software.

Switching the receiver to Suspend mode is the right thing to do when you need to make a short pause in your work and you want to save the operating time of your battery. You should not however switch the receiver to Suspend mode when it is collecting raw data.

In Suspend mode, GNSS reception and the modem are off. The receiver is idle, using the minimum of energy required to save the use context. The Power & Battery LED flashes green every 5 seconds or so.

To switch to Suspend mode, just press briefly on the Power button [8].
