* If using the RF module in a portable application (for example - if the module is used in a handheld device and the antenna is less than 20 cm from the
human body when the device is in operation): The integrator is responsible for passing additional SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing based on FCC
rules 2.1091 and FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, OET Bulletin and Supplement C. The testing results
will be submitted to the FCC for approval prior to selling the integrated unit. The required SAR testing measures emissions from the module and how
they affect the person.
