Specific absorption rate dataTHIS BLACKBERRY SMART CARD READER MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.The BlackBerry Smart Card Reader is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government, Industry Canada of the Canadian Government (IC), and recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
12levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for BlackBerry Smart Card Readers employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg*. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg**. Tests for SAR are exempted due the low transmit power of the BlackBerry Card Reader.As per FCC 2003 TCB Training, no SAR evaluation is needed if the transmit power of a transceiver is below low threshold of 60 / f (GHz) mW.___________________________________* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile BlackBerry Smart Card Readers used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles, and feet). The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
13** In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile BlackBerry Smart Card Readers used by the public is 2.0 Watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles, and feet). The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.The long-term characteristics or the possible physiological effects of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic fields have not been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
