Certification Information (SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC
FIELD.
Your device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When
it is turned on, 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. International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE), through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines
establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the
general population. 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 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 while being operated can be well
20
below the value. This is because the device is designed to use
the minimum power required to reach the network.
Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested and certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), ensuring that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations
(that is, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model. For body worn operation, this device has
been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when the
handset is positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body with
an accessory that contains no metal part. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
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 at the ear is 1.18 W/kg.
The SAR limit adopted by the CNIRP is 2.0 W/kg over one gram
of tissue. The value guarantees a safe distance to protect device
users and the difference caused by measurement errors. Under
different test requirements and frequency, the value varies.
