Safety and Warranty 59
SAR Information
THIS MODEL MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS AND
EUROPEAN UNION (EU) STANDARDS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile hotspot 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. 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 standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile hotspot employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg* and EU standards is 2.0 W/ kg. Tests for SAR are
conducted 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.
Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the 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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for
this model device when tested for use at the when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 1.516 W/Kg. (Body-worn measurements
differ among device models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated
