Radio Frequency Exposure Warning
To ensure compliance at all times with the R&TTE Directive* 1999/5/EC, the
wireless device can be held in the hand but still requires a minimum distance of 1.5
cm from the body when in operation.
* The general public RF exposure limits referenced in the R&TTE Directive are
consistent with the published Guidelines of the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998. ICNIRP is a formally recognized
non-governmental organization in Non-Ionising Radiation Protection for the World
Health Organisation (WHO), the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the
European Union (EU). For more information, visit the ICNIRP website at
www.icnirp.de.
Certification Information (SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
Your wireless device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is
running, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves
or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety
guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure for the public. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any
variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio
frequency energy absorbed by the body when you use a wireless device. The SAR
value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but
the actual SAR level of the wireless device while operating can be well below the
value. This is because the wireless device is designed to use the minimum power
required to reach the network.
All models of KPN's wireless device are designed to meet radio frequency
exposure guidelines such as European Council Recommendation and Federal
Communications Commission Notice (United States).
European Council Recommendation:
Before a wireless device model is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested according to the technical
standard-EN 50361 and not exceed the limit established by the European Council
Recommendation: 1999/519/EC for safe exposure.
The SAR limit adopted by the 1999/519/EC is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over ten gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for this device type when tested is
0.413 W/kg.
[EN 50361 scope states "This basic standard applies to any electromagnetic field
