NOTE: This equipment 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 radiate 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

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 U.S.
Government. The exposure standard for wireless devices
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit adopted by the FCC is
1.6W/kg for an uncontrolled environment. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the
FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the device 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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer
173
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage near
the body is 1.41 W/kg.
