Safety information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power is far
below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by
international standards bodies:
l American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992.
l National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.
l Int’l Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.
l Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
SAR: 0.545w/kg
Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the device,
causing loss of performance. To assure optimal performance and ensure human
exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always
use your device only in its normal-use position.
Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the device is IN USE optimizes the antenna
performance.
Exposure to radio frequency radiation from Bluetooth and WLAN
transmitters
This device is approved as a portable device with respect to Radio Frequency (RF) exposure
compliance. The radiated output power of the internal wireless radio transmitters is less
than 100 milliwatt, which results in exposure levels far below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits, even when operated in close proximity to the body. The internal wireless
radios operate within guidelines found in international radio frequency safety standards
and recommendations, which reflect the consensus of the international scientific
community. Spectra Precision therefore believes the internal wireless radios are safe for
use by users. The level of electromagnetic energy emitted is hundreds of times lower than
the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However,
the use of wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as
on aircraft. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization
before turning on the wireless radios.
