Specific Absorption Rate Data
The FCC ID:E09BCR900/IC:864A-BCR900 model of 900MHz Belt-Clip Radio meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
Your 900 MHz BCR has a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government and by the
Canadian regulatory authorities. 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 evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile and/or portable devices employs a unit of measurement known as the specific
absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/kg
1
. Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the 900 MHz
BCR transmitting at its highest certified power level in all test frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the 900 MHz BCR while operating can be well below the maximum
level. This is because the 900 MHz BCR is designed to operate at multiple power levels, depending on the needs of the
customer.
Before a BCR model is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and
Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by each government for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (for example, worn on the body) and reported to the FCC and made available for
review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this model BCR when tested for use when worn on the body as
described in the user’s guide is 0.87 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various BCR models
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to
this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later products; and in all cases, products are designed to be
within the guidelines.

In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for wireless mobile and/or portable devices used by the public is 1.6 W per
kilogram averaged over 1 g of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to get additional protection
for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
