and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. 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. These guidelines
include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for routers employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as
the Federal Communications Commission of the US
Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions with the
router 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 router while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the router is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output of the router.
Before a router model is available for sale to the public,
compliance with national regulations and standards must
be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested is
1.26 W/Kg for use close to the body.
For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-
