FCC Radio Frequency Exposure and SAR
The available scientific evidence does not show that any
health problems are associated with using low power wireless
devices. There is no proof, however, that low power wireless
devices are absolutely safe.
The exposure standard for low power wireless devices em-
ploys a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard op-
erating positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada
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 device is designed to operate at the mini-
mum power level required to reach the network.
Before a low power wireless device is available for sale to the
public in the US and Canada it must be tested and certified
to the FCC and the Industry Canada that it does not exceed
the limit established by each government for safe exposure.
The personal computer (OQO model 02) has been tested and
found to comply with the Federal Communications Committee
guidelines on radio frequency (RF) energy exposure.
Industry Canada
