RF exposure information (SAR)
This Rugged PDA meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This Rugged PDA 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. The exposure standard for wireless Rugged
PDA 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 using
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the Rugged PDA 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 Rugged
PDA while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
Rugged PDA is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for US model
Rugged PDA as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the body, as described in
this user guide, is 0.713 W/kg.
