RF exposure information (SAR)
This Rugged Tablet PC meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. This Rugged Tablet
PCis 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
Rugged Tablet PC 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 Rugged Tablet PC 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 Rugged Tablet
PC while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the Rugged Tablet PC 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.

2. REGULATORY
The 15.203 antenna requirements:
1) An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the
responsible party shall be used with the device.
Adherence - In our design we are using customized antenna made of a carrier and conductive part (pogo spring
pins) which makes contact with the antenna pads of PCB. This is not the standard type and hence any other
antenna cannot be used in place of currently used antenna. This approach is applicable for both cellular as well
as non-cellular RF sections. The pictures of the customized antenna are available in the above section.
2) Further, this requirement does not apply to intentional radiators that must be professionally installed, such as
perimeter protection systems and some field disturbance sensors, or to other intentional radiators which, in
accordance with § 15.31(d), must be measured at the installation site. However, the installer shall be responsible
for ensuring that the proper antenna is employed so that the limits in this part are not exceeded.
Adherence The antenna in our EUT (tablet) cannot to remove by a user as the antenna is fixed inside the unit.
Removal of antenna requires the unit to be sent to service Centre where the professionally trained person
removes/replaces/reworks the antenna if at all necessary.2.1. Device Specification
