Certification information (SAR)
The device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
92
Your 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 ICNIRS and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for devices employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRS guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the maximum value
Compliance with International Standards 93 because the device is designed to use only the power required to reach the network.
This equipment complies with the European Council Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the Limitation of Exposure of the General Sublic to Electromagnetic Fields [1999/519/EC].
