The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded: Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded: Wi-Fi version (Body-worn) FCC ID:RAD426 1.203W/kg. During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
17 Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 0 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should be positioned at least this distance away from the body. If you are not using an approved accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the device the indicated distance away from the body. Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the head or body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent on the device. ● RoHS Approval The modem is in compliance with the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS Directive).
