Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
This router meets guidelines for exposure to radio
waves.
This router is a low-power radio transmitter and
receiver. As recommended by international guidelines,
the router is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organization
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) and include safety measures
designed to ensure safety for all users, regardless of
age and health.
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the body when using a device. The SAR
value is determined at the highest certified power level
in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the
device when being operated can be well below the
value. This is because the router is designed to use the
minimum power required to reach the network.
The SAR limit adopted by USA and Canada is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The highest SAR value reported to the FCC and
IC for this device type when tested for use in portable
exposure conditions are as follows:
WLAN 0.00341W/kg
CDMA 0.813W/kg
WiMAX 0.715W/kg
Body-Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radiofrequency (RF)
radiation exposure is as follows:
ⅷTo ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines,
the device must be used with a minimum of 1 cm
(0.393 inches) distance from the body.
