When it is ON, it receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) signals Thuraya WE has an in-built transceiver and active antenna. This antenna transmits RF energy. International agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy. These standards are based on extensive scientific review by scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry groups. They review the available body of research to develop ANSI standard. These ANSI standards are reviewed regularly for research development. »» International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996 »» Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) DIN-0848 »» United States Federal Commission, Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines (1996) »» National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988 »» American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95. 1-1992 Do not operate your satellite system when a person is within 57cm of the device. A person or object within 57cm of the antenna could impair call quality and may cause the device to operate at a higher power level than necessary and expose that person to RF energy in excess of that established by the FCC RF Exposure Guidelines. The Thuraya WE was evaluated against the FCC RF exposure requirements of 47 CFR Part 2.1091. An exclusion zone of 0.57m was required in front of the antenna, away from this area the electric field measured at 0.20m did not exceed the MPE limit. The Thuraya WE was evaluated against the CE RF exposure requirements of EN 62311:2008. An exclusion zone of 0.64m was required in front of the antenna, away from this area the electric field measured at 0.20m did not exceed the reference limit. As a precaution, please maintain the maximum body distance possible from the antenna during call transmission. FCC NOTICES Part 15 conditions This device contains a Wi-Fi transmitter and associated digital circuitry that operate under Part 15 of the FCC Rules. The following notice applies to operations under Part 15: 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 equipment 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 5|Page • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help The Thuraya WE contains two FCC modular certified items with FCC ID: XPYTOBYL210 (3G/4G cellular module) and FCC ID: XF6-RS9113SB (Wi-Fi module).
