Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification Information
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert
organizations: the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). In both cases,
the recommendations were developed by scientic and engineering experts drawn
from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientic
literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure
of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of
