EU regulatory conformance

RF exposure requirements

Important safety information regarding radio frequency (RF) radiation exposure: RF exposure guidelines require that the device be used at a minimum of 0.5 cm from the human body. Failure to observe this guideline may result in RF exposure exceeding limits.

Certification information (SAR)

This device meets the 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 averaging over 10 grams of tissue, and the highest SAR value for this device complies with this limit.
