RF Exposure
Your device contains a radio transmitter and a receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When
your device is in use, thesystem handling your connection
controls the power level at which your device transmits.
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.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for wireless devices
is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when
tested at the body was 0.795 W/kg* with 5 mm distance.
SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting
power and where supported with multiple simultaneous
transmitters. The actual SAR of this device while operating is
typically well below that indicated above. This is due to
automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure
it only uses the minimum power required to communicate
with the network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50566 and
EN 62209-2.
Body worn operation
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the device
must be used with a minimum of 0.5 cm separation from the
body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF
exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits and may use
more power than necessary.
