RF exposure statement
6.4.4.1
IC compliance
All transmitters regulated by IC must comply with RF exposure requirements listed in RSS-102 - Radio
Frequency (RF) Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency Bands). This
module is approved for installation into mobile and/or portable host platforms and must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except in accordance
with Industry Canada's multi-transmitter guidelines. End-users must be provided with transmitter
operating conditions for satisfying RF Exposure compliance.
To fulfil the requirements of the SAR evaluation Exemption limits defined in RSS-102 issue 5, an OEM
integrator implementing NORA-W2 WLAN capability into an end-product must ensure a separation
distance of at least 20 cm between the user (or bystander) and the antenna (or radiating element).
The separation distance may be reduced to 35 mm in applications where the WLAN capability is
turned off and only the Bluetooth LE capability of NORA-W2 is utilized.
6.4.4.2
FCC compliance
All transmitters regulated by FCC must comply with RF exposure requirements.
provides guidance in determining whether proposed or existing transmitting
facilities, operations or devices comply with limits for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) fields
adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
NORA-W2 modules are approved for installation into mobile and/or portable host platforms and must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter
–
except in
accordance with FCC multi-transmitter guidelines.
To ensure that the max output power of NORA-W2 remains below the SAR Test Exclusion Threshold
defined in KDB 447498 D01v06, an OEM integrator implementing NORA-W2 WLAN capability into an
end-product must ensure a separation distance of at least 63 mm between the user (or bystander)
and the antenna (or radiating element). The separation distance may be reduced to 34 mm in
applications where the WLAN capability is turned off and only the Bluetooth LE capability of
NORA-W2 is utilized.
