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 scientic organizations
through regular and thorough evaluations of scientic studies. The unit of measurement for the
European Council’s recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Specic 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 certied output power level in all
frequency bands of the mobile device.
Power Safety Requirement
Products with electrical current ratings up to 6A and weighing more than 3Kg must use approved
power cords greater than or equal to: H05VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm2 or H05VV-F, 2G, 0.75 mm2.
