SAR INFORMATION S TATEMENT
Y o u r w i r e l e ss CAR ALARM (TWO WAY) is aradio transmitter and receiver. It is designed andmanufactured
not to exceed the emission limits for e x po su r e to radio frequency (RF) e n e r g y set by the Fede r a l
Communications Commission of the U.S. G o v e r n m e n t . These limits are part of comprehensive g u i de l i n e s
and e s t ab l i sh permitted l e v e l s of RF e n e r g y for the ge n e r a l pop u l a t i o n . The g u i de l i n e s are based on

safety of all persons, r ega r d l e ss of age and h ea l t h . The e x po su r e standard for w i r e l e ss CAR ALARM ( TW O
WAY) e m p l o y s a unit of measurement knownas the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by
the FCC is 4.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted with the CAR ALARM (TWO WAY) transmitting at i t s
highest certified power l e v e l in all tested frequency bands. A l t h o u g h the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power l e v e l , the a c t u a l SAR l e v e l of the CAR ALARM (TWO WAY) wh i l e operatingcan bewell be l o w

it does not exceed the limit e s t ab l i sh ed by the government adopted requirement for safeexposure. The
tests are performed in positionsand l o c a t i o ns (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each m ode l . The highest SAR v a l u e for this m ode l CAR ALARM (TWO WAY) whentested f o r
