this device should be mounted or used in such a fashion that the
transmitter is more than 20 cm away from all persons at all times.
* The general public RF exposure limits referenced in the R&TTE
Directive are consistent with the published Guidelines of the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1998. ICNIRP is a formally recognized non-governmental
organization in Non-Ionising Radiation Protection for the World Health
Organisation (WHO), the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and
the European Union (EU). For more information, visit the ICNIRP
website at www.icnirp.de.
Certification Information (SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
Your wireless device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is running, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also
known as radio waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive
international safety guidelines, developed by scientific organizations,
e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure
for the public. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account
for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the
amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when you
use a wireless device. The SAR value is determined at the highest
13
certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level
of the wireless device while operating can be well below the value.
This is because the wireless device is designed to use the minimum
power required to reach the network.
All models of Huawei's wireless device are designed to meet radio
frequency exposure guidelines such as European Council
Recommendation and Federal Communications Commission Notice
(United States).
European Council Recommendation: Before a wireless device
model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested according to
the technical standard-EN 50361 and not exceed the limit established
by the European Council Recommendation: 1999/519/EC for safe
exposure.
The SAR limit adopted by the 1999/519/EC is 2.0 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over ten gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for
this device type when tested is 0.413 W/kg.
[EN 50361 scope states "This basic standard applies to any
electromagnetic field (EM) transmitting devices intended to be used
with the radiating part of the equipment in close proximity to the
human ear including mobile phones, cordless phones, etc. The
frequency range is 300 MHz to 3 GHz. Therefore, the above text does
not address primary use of the wireless device product.]
