INFORMATION REGARDING EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY FOR
MODEL NUMBER D00611, FCC ID: W2R-0610
Recycling Kindle Properly Your Kindle is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the emission limits for exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the United States (FCC). The exposure standard for wireless devices
employs a unit of measurement known as the specific absorption rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of Kindle while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because Kindle is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base-station antenna, the lower
the power output. The highest measured SAR value for this model Kindle as reported
to the FCC when held at least 0.31 of an inch (8.0 mm) from the body is 1.49 W/kg.
SAR information on this Kindle is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on the FCC ID for
this device. The FCC ID number for this Kindle can be found on the back of the device.
This device may exceed FCC RF exposure guidelines if positioned closer than 0.31
of an inch (8.0 mm) from the body while wireless is on. If you place this device on
your lap or against your body while wireless is on, you should place at least 0.31 of
an inch (8.0 mm) of non-metallic material between the device and your body or use a
Amazon-branded book cover designed for the device to be sure that human exposure
to RF energy does not exceed the FCC guidelines.
