FCC Regulations:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiated
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
20
help.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s
authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission of the United
States.
During SAR testing, this device is set to transmit at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in
positions that simulate RF exposure in usage near the body with
the separation of 10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the device 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 wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
21
Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: SRQ-R226-Z.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for near the
body is 1.19 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various devices and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation
distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry
this device, at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure RF
exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level.
