Chromebook User GuideRadio Frequency (RF) Exposure Information

The radiated output power of the Wireless Device is below the Industry Canada (IC) radio

frequency exposure limits. The Wireless Device should be used in such a manner such that the

potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

This device has been evaluated for and shown compliant with the IC Specific Absorption Rate

(“SAR”) limits when operated in portable exposure conditions.

Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority

users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause

interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

Informations concernant l'exposition aux fréquences

radio (RF)

La puissance de sortie émise par cet appareil sans fil est inférieure à la limite d'exposition aux

fréquences radio d'Industrie Canada (IC). Utilisez l'appareil sans fil de façon à minimiser les

contacts humains lors d'un fonctionnement normal.

Cet appareil a été évalué et démontré conforme aux limites de DAS (Débit d'absorption

spécifique) d'IC lorsqu'il est utilisé dans des conditions d'exposition à des appareils portables.

De plus, les utilisateurs devraient aussi être avisés que les utilisateurs de radars de haute

puissance sont désignés utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d., qu’ils ont la priorité) pour les bandes

5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars pourraient créer des interférences et/ou

RF Exposure Information (SAR) - CE

This device meets the EU requirements (2014/53/EU) on the limitation of exposure of the

general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection.

The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These

recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientific organizations

through regular and thorough evaluations of scientific studies. The unit of measurement for the

European Council’s recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Specific Absorption Rate” (SAR),

and the SAR limit is 2.0 W/Kg averaged over 10 gram of body tissue. It meets the requirements

of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

For next-to-body operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNIRP exposure

guidelines and the European Standard EN 50566 and EN 62209-2. SAR is measured with the

device directly contacted to the body while transmitting at the highest certified output power

level in all frequency bands of the mobile device.
