RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device has been tested and meets applicable limits for Radio Frequency (RF) exposure.

Speciﬁc Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. SAR limits

are 1.6 Watts per kilogram (over a volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue) in countries that

followtheUnitedStatesFCClimitand2.0W/kg(averagedover10gramsoftissue)incountries

that follow the Council of the European Union limit. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard

operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certiﬁed power level in all tested

frequency bands.

To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free accessory or other similar option to keep this

device away from your head and body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your body to

ensure exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels. Choose the belt clips, holsters,

or other similar body-worn accessories which do not contain metallic components to support

operation in this manner. Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device,

including its compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been tested or

certiﬁed, and use such accessories should be avoided.
