The antenna installation and operating configurations of this transmitter, including any applicable source-based time-averaging duty factor, antenna gain and cable loss must satisfy MPE categorical Exclusion Requirements of §2.1091. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. transmitting at its highest certified power level in all frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone or modem while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone or modem is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a Corporationbase station antenna, the lower the power output. Before this device is made available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear or worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. In general, for the United States market, the embedded modules are treated as “mobile devices” as per FCC CFR47 paragraph 2.1091. A mobile device is defined as “a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 cm is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons.” Manufactures of mobile devices may be able to submit a Maximum Exposure Rate (MPE) calculation in order to demonstrate SAR compliance.
