RF Safety Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy (SAR) Radio

transmitting devices radiate Radio Frequency (RF) energy during its
operation. RF energy can be absorbed into the human body and
potentially can cause adverse health effects if excessive levels are
absorbed. The unit of measurement for human exposure to RF
energy is “Specific Absorption Rate” (SAR).
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industrie
Canada (IC), and other agencies around the world have established
limits that incorporate a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons using this equipment.
In order to certify this unit for sale in the US, Canada and Europe
this unit has been tested for RF exposure compliance at a qualified
test laboratory and found to comply with the regulations regarding
exposure to RF Energy.
SAR was measured with the unit transmitting at its maximum
certified RF power. Often, however, during normal operation the unit
will transmit much less than maximum power. Transmit power is
controlled automatically and, in general is reduced as you get closer
to a cellular base station. This reduction in transmit power will result
in a lower RF energy exposure and resulting SAR value.

FCC RF Safety Statement In order to comply with FCC RF exposure safety
guidelines as body-worn, normal use of unit, the following must be followed:

1. A distance of AT LEAST 1.5 cm of separation between the users body and the
unit. Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct contact
with the body (i.e. on the lap). Such use will likely exceed FCC RF safety
exposure limits See www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/ for more information on RF
exposure safety.

Antenna Care/Unauthorized Modifications Use only the supplied
integral antenna. Unauthorized antenna modifications or attachments
could damage the unit and may violate FCC regulations. Any changes
or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
