rf exposure
Your device contains a radio transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and transmits RF energy. When your device is in use, the system
handling your connection controls the power level at which your device
transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not
to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international
guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health. The guidelines use a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg for Head and Body-worn, and 4 W/kg for
Limb. The highest SAR value for this device when tested complied with this
limit.
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under
which it was recorded.

*The tests are carried out in accordance with [CENELEC EN50566] [IEC 62209-2] [IEC/IEEE 62209-1528]
body worn operation
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the device must be used with
a minimum of 5mm separation from the body. Failure to observe these
instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline
limits and may use more power than necessary.
fcc statement
radio waves
THIS DEVICE MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Your
router is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines
include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for routers
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal Communications
Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the router transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
router while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the router is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only
the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of the router.
Before a router model is available
for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards
must be shown. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested is 1.11
W/Kg for use close to the body. For body-worn operation, the phone meets FCC
RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a nonmetallic accessory
with the handset at least 10 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may
not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Additional information
on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) Web site: http://www.ctia.org/
· FCC Compliance (FOR PART 15B/PART 15C) FCC ID: 2ACCJB182.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of
routers. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or
their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using “hands-
free” devices to keep routers away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193).
Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health are
available on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf. Note: This
equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. For receiver devices
associated with the operation of a licensed radio service (e.g. FM broadcast),
they bear the following statement: This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not
cause harmful interference. For other devices, they bear the following
statement: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation. Your router is equipped with
a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or
damaging it. As routers offer a range of functions, they can be used in
positions other than against your ear. In such circumstances the device will
be compliant with the guidelines when used with headset or usb data cable. If
you are using another accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free
of any metal and that it positions the router at least 10 mm away from the
body.
FCC Compliance (when US bands are supported)
