Certication information (SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your wireless Thuraya XT phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR
limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR
level of an operating device can be below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the power required to reach the
network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR
value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the ear is 0.291W/kg
Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values. SAR values may vary depending on national
reporting and testing requirements and the network band. Additional SAR information may be provided under product information at
www.apsat.co.kr

FCC Compliance Statement
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the Federal Communications
Commission (USA) and Industry Canada. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue.
The Highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certication for use at the ear is 0.457W/kg
