Key features mentioned include VIN SCAN, Manual Diagnosis, System and Function, Maintenance, ADAS, TPMS, Repair, Feedback, and Warranty Terms.

RF Exposure Information Statement

Your THINKCAR TKX12 is a radio transmitter and receiver designed to comply with radio frequency (RF) energy exposure limits set by regulatory bodies.

FCC Compliance (United States)

FCC Statement: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with part of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

SAR Information: The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg, averaged over one gram of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. While the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels 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.

The highest SAR value for this device when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.57 W/kg. Body-worn measurements may differ depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2AUARTKX12.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at www.ctia.org.

The SAR test distance is 15mm.

IC Compliance (Canada)

IC Statement: This device complies with Industry Canada's licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

The term 'IC' before the certification registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met. This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications.

SAR Information (Canada): Your THINKCAR TKX12 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 Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) of the Government of Canada. 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 the device employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by ISED is 1.6 W/kg, averaged over one gram of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted with the device 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 device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels 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 device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified by ISED that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations, e.g., at the ear and worn on the body, as required by ISED for each model.

The highest SAR value for this device when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.57 W/kg. Body-worn measurements may differ depending upon available accessories and ISED requirements. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

ISED has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the ISED RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with ISED and can be found under the Display Grant section of https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ceb-bhst.nsf/eng/h_tt00074.html after searching for IC ID: 2AUARTKX12.
