FCC statement
FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device 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.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement know 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 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 so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer the proximity to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for this device as reported to the FCC when tested for use in body is 0.33W/K.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated 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/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2AHR8-GD201 .
This device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
