FCC RF Exposure Information
This model device meets the U.S. Government's
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This model device contains a radio transmitter and
receiver. This model device is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy as set by the FCC of the U.S. Government. These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies.
The exposure standard for wireless tablet PC employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions as accepted by
the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the device is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to
a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output
level of the device.
Before a tablet PC model is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to prove to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the U.S. government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed on
position and locations (for example, on body) as required by
FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model
device as reported to the FCC, when on body (0mm separation
distance), is 1.070 W/kg (measurements differ among device
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels at
various positions, they all meet the U.S. government
requirements.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
