Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless USB modem 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 recommendations were
developed by scientific and
engineering experts drawn from
industry, government, and academia
after extensive reviews of the scientific
literature related to the biological
effects of RF energy. The exposure
limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile
USB modem s employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR).
The SAR is a measure of the rate of
absorption of RF energy by the human
body expressed in units of watts per
kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless USB modem s 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
standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the USB modem transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the
