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 Geospatial 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.
Exposure to radio frequency radiation from cellular wireless
transmitters
Devices equipped with wireless cellular modem radios have been designed and manufactured to meet
safety requirements for limiting exposure to radio waves. When used in accordance with the instructions
set forth in this manual, the equipment has been independently verified to not exceed the emission limits
for safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy as specified by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government in 47 CFR §2.1093. 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 organization through periodic and thorough
