1.3.2 SAR requirements specific to portable mobiles
Mobile phones, PDAs or other portable transmitters and receivers incorporating a GSM module
must be in accordance with the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency energy. This
requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable AGS2-E based applications to be eval-
uated 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 and US-
markets the relevant directives are mentioned below. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer
of the final product to verify whether or not further standards, recommendations or directives
are in force outside these areas.

IMPORTANT:
Manufacturers of portable applications based on AGS2-E modules are required to have their
final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate relat-
ed to the specific portable mobile (see also Section 8.2).
