FCC limits for human (general population) exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields. The device was tested
in all applicable USB directions at a distance of 5 mm from the phantom object. FCC guidelines specify a limit of 1.6
W/kg averaged
over a mass of 1 g for single-platform devices, in this case a notebook platform.

XY meets the requirements governing the specific absorption rate (SAR) as specified in the recommendation of
the Council of Europe. In the Council of Europe's recommendation, the limit value for the specific absorption rate (SAR)
was, based on ICNIRP guidance, set at 2.0 W/kg over a mass of 10 g (Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC).
Further details are available on request.
For daily users, we recommend that a minimum distance of 20 cm be maintained from the antenna.
Users who have concerns about mobile radio radiation are advised to restrict the duration of their calls and position the
antenna as far as possible away from the body
2. Certification requirements
2.1 Federal communications commission notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, we cannot
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
2.2 Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified of all changes or modifications that are made to the device that are not
expressly permitted by Option
®
or can annul the user's authorization to use the equipment
2.3 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.
2.4 Information concerning the radio frequency energy burden
The radio frequency energy burden is tested for compatibility with the SAR requirements in a notebook, as stipulated
by the FCC. Users who are worried about the possible effects of the mobile radio frequency are advised to restrict the
duration of their calls and position the antenna as far as possible away from the body.
