5.2 SAR requirements specific to portable mobiles
Mobile phones, PDAs or other portable transmitters and receivers incorporating a GSM/UMTS
module must be in accordance with the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency en-
ergy. This requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable PLS63-W based applica-
tions to be evaluated and approved for compliance with national and/or international
regulations.
Since the SAR value varies significantly with the individual product design manufacturers are
advised to submit their product for approval if designed for portable use. For European/US/Aus-
tralian-markets the relevant directives are mentioned below. It is the responsibility of the man-
ufacturer of the final product to verify whether or not further standards, recommendations or
directives are in force outside these areas.

expo-sure restrictions for electromagnetic fields (0 Hz - 300 GHz)
Please note that SAR requirements are specific only for portable devices and not for mobile
devices as defined below:
• Portable device:
A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radi-
ating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.
• Mobile device:
A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed
locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20
centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structure(s) and the
body of the user or nearby persons. In this context, the term ''fixed location'' means that the
device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another
location.
