SAR Information

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) Certification Information: The SAR limit for the torso is 2.0W/kg at 15mm, and 4.0W/kg for limbs at 0mm. This device was tested to these SAR limits. The highest limb SAR reported during product certification was 1.581W/kg. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the mobile phone held 15mm from the body. When using accessories such as belt clips or holsters, ensure they do not contain metal parts. Using accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in Japan: This device complies with the technical standards for radio wave absorption by the human body and international guidelines for radio wave protection set by Japan. When using the tablet near the body, use carrying cases or other accessories to maintain a distance of at least 15mm from the body, and ensure no metal objects are placed between the tablet and the body.
