FCC
This device (FCC ID: 2AUVWPB1030) complies with part 15 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.

15.21 Information to the user. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 15.105 Information for the user.
NOTE: 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 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.
• Connecting the equipment to a socket on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Contact with the provider or a radio TV technician for help.

SAR
The exposure standards for wireless devices employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6 W/kg.
The SAR limit recommended by the Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg, but since the output power is less than 13dBm, according to the EN50360 SAR test for such devices is not provided.
This device’s maximum SAR value is well below the FCC/IC and EU limits with specific measurements shown in the below table.

FCC / IC	Max SAR Value (W/kg)
1.6	1-g Body (Separation distance of 0 mm)
	WLAN 2.4GHz – 1.430 WLAN 5GHz – 1.517
EU / ACMA	Max SAR Value (W/kg)
2.0	10-g Body (Separation distance of 0 mm)
	WLAN 2.4GHz – 0.373 WLAN 5GHz – 0.383
EU / ANFR	Max SAR Value (W/kg)
4.0	10-g Body (Separation distance of 0 mm)
	WLAN 2.4GHz – 0.373 WLAN 5GHz – 0.383

This device was tested for typical operations of use on the body, with the back of the PB1030 at 0mm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a distance of 0mm between the user’s body and the back of the PB1030.
IMPORTANT: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized could void the EMC and wireless compliance and negate your authority to operate the product. This product has demonstrated EMC compliance under conditions that included the use of compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables between system components. It is important that you use compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables between system components to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, televisions, and other electronic devices.
