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 employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or

SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating

positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT transmitting at the specied power level in dierent

channels.

The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC is 1.01 W/kg when placed next to the

body.

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 le with the FCC and can be found at www.fcc.gov/general/fcc-id-search-page after searching

on FCC ID: MSQP027.

IC Warning Statement

The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of information to

transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of control or

signaling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology.

The Country Code Selection feature is disabled for products marketed in the US/Canada. For

product available in the USA/Canada markets, only channel 1-11 can be operated. Selection of

other channels is not possible.

This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits in IC RSS-102

and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specied in

IEEE 1528.

Caution

(i) the device for operation in the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential

for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;

(ii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725

MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit; and

(iii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall comply

RF Exposure information (SAR) - CE

This device meets the EU requirements (1999/5/EC) on the limitation of exposure of the general

public to electromagnetic elds by way of health protection.

The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These

recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientic organizations

through regular and thorough evaluations of scientic studies. The unit of measurement for the

European Council’s recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Specic Absorption Rate” (SAR),

and the SAR limit is 2.0 W/Kg averaged over 10 gram of body tissue. It meets the requirements of

the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

For next-to-body operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNRP exposure guidelines

and the European Standard EN 50566 and EN 62209-2. SAR is measured with the device at a

separation of 0 cm to the body while transmitting at the highest certied output power level in all

frequency bands of the mobile device.

A minimum separation distance of 0 cm must be maintained between the user’s body and the

device, including the antenna during body-worn operation to comply with the RF exposure

requirements in Europe.
