Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information(SAR)
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Counsel on
Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the engineering
experts drawn from industry, government,
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices employs a
unit of measurement known as the the rate of absorption of RF energy by
the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC
requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per
kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using recommended operating positions accepted
by the FCC with the device tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined of the device while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power
