Therefore, the connection cannot be guaranteed in all conditions. In an emergency, you should not rely solely on the wireless device for essential communications. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health. Regulatory Information The following approvals and notices apply in specific regions as noted. CE Approval (European Union) The wireless device is approved to be used in the member states of the EU. The wireless device is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment 13 Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive). In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/kg
(W/kg) averagedover 10 grams of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for theextremities - hands, wrists, ankles and feet). The standard incorporates a substantial margin ofsafety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations inmeasurements. the highest SAR value for this device when tested properly worn on the body is 1.270W/kg. Federal Communications Commission Notice (United States): Before a wireless device model is 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. FCC Statement In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 1 gram of tissue for the body or head
(4.0 W/kg averaged over10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles and feet). The standard incorporatesa substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for anyvariations in measurements. The highest SAR value reported to the FCC for this device type when tested properly worn on the body is 0.956W/kg. SAR compliance has been established in typical laptop computer(s) with USB slot, and product could be used with typical laptop computer. Other application like handheld PC or co-transmitting with other high power transmitter(s) within 20cm have not been verified and may not comply with relevant RF exposure rules.
