on standards that were developed by independent scienc
organizaons through periodic and thorough evaluaon of
scienc studies. These guidelines include a substanal safety
margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure standard for routers employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specic Absorpon Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by public authories such as the Federal Communicaons
Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Industry
Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body ssue. Tests
for SAR are conducted using standard operang posions with
the router transming at its highest cered power level in all
tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest cered power
level, the actual SAR level of the router while operang can be
well below the maximum value. This is because the router is
designed to operate at mulple power levels so as to use only
the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base staon antenna, the lower the power
output of the router. Before a router model is available for sale
to the public, compliance with naonal regulaons and standards
must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model router when tested is 0.97
W/Kg for use close to the body.
While there may be dierences between the SAR levels of various
routers and at various posions, they all meet the government
requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operaon, the
router meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is
used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least
10 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
