EU regulatory conformance
Body worn operation
The device complies with RF specifications when used near
your ear or at a distance of 1 cm from your body. Ensure that
the device accessories, such as a device case and device holster,
are not composed of metal components. Keep the device away
from your body to meet the distance requirement.
Certification information (SAR)
This device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. As
recommended by international guidelines, the device is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves.
These guidelines were developed by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), an
independent scientific organization, and include safety
measures designed to ensure the safety of all users, regardless
of age and health.
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement
for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the
body when using a device. The SAR value is determined at the
highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the
actual SAR level during operation can be well below the value.
This is because the device is designed to use the minimum
power required to reach the network.
The SAR limit adopted by Europe is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10
grams of tissue, and the highest SAR value for this device
complies with this limit.
