Thuraya SG-2520, User Manual

Page: 6 / 206

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency
(RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. This wireless mobile phone has been evaluated under FCC
Bulletin OET 65C (01-01) and found to be compliant to the requirements of uncontrolled environmental limits as set forth in
CFR 47 Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices when operated in accordance with
the operation guidelines described in this manual. Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this
publication will result in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
Your wireless phone SG-2520 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 phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the phone 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 phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone 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 phone 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 (for
example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone as
reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.32 W/kg (For SAT operations, this mobile phone cannot be used in a body
worn position because in this position the phone cannot properly receive and transmit the satellite signal and the operation is not
practicable). The body-worn operation is restricted to GSM/BT operations only.
