CipherLab CP55, Reference Manual

FOR UNITED STATES
THESE PRODUCT MODELS HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The CP55 series mobile computer has been designed to comply with applicable safety
requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your mobile computer is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed to not exceed the limits* of exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by governmental authorities. These limits establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
international scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
individuals, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the
product transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various product models, they are all
designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
The highest reported SAR values for body-worn accessory and simultaneous transmission
are 0.76W/kg, and 1.27W/kg respectively for CP55G. The highest reported SAR values for
body-worn operation are 1.03W/Kg for CP55. For body-worn operation, the product has
been tested when positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts
in the vicinity of the product.
Before a WWAN model is available for sale to the public in the US, it must be tested and
certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure*. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (i.e., by the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this phone
model with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones, all
mobile phones granted an FCC equipment authorization meet the government requirement
for safe exposure. SAR information on this phone model is on file at the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID Q3N-CP55G. Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.phonefacts.net .
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
