RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
THIS CDMA DONGLE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT ’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your CDMA DONGLE is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S.Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluate on of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
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 W/kg.*Tests for SAR are conducted 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 the device while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone 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. Before a wireless device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the
FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The highest SAR value for this CDMA Dongle is
1.38 W/kg (CDMA CELLULAR) & 1.34 W/kg (CDMA
PCS). The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this CDMA Dongle with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on
file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov /oet / fcc id after
searching on FCC ID : R2NSEC-3189.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications
&Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http://phonefacts.net.*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit
for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6watts/kg (W/kg)averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
agitations in measurements.
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report
and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety
standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with
the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
