Exposure to RF Energy
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
FREQUENCY RADIATION.
The OptiView XG is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government and by the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The device also meets the European Radio and
Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) directive, for protecting the health and safety
of the user and other persons.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines that 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 standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to operate
within the limits for safe exposure established by the FCC and international organizations. The
tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., next to the body) as required by the FCC for
each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all
reported SAR levels (see below) evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when the antennas are positioned at a minimum
distance from the body. In order to transmit data or messages, this device requires a quality
connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data or messages may be delayed until
such a connection becomes available. Be sure that the recommended distance is observed until
the transmission is complete.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified
by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The international guidelines state that the SAR
limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. SAR
values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. 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 because the device operates at multiple power
levels and uses only the power required to reach the network.
SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: WA7-OPTIVIEW-XG.
