Union and the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population.
The SAR limit set by the FCC/ IC is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue for the body (4.0 W/kg
averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles and feet). The SAR
limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg averaged over 10 grams of
tissue for the body (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists,
ankles and feet). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC/IC/EU council with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.
Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to
the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union that it does not exceed the limit established
by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure under the recommendations of the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are performed
in positions and locations as required by the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union for
each model.
To maintain compliance with FCC, IC, and EU RF exposure guidelines, when you carry a TomTom
