RF EXPOSURE
This watch contains a radio transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your watch, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your device transmits.
RADIO WAVES:
THIS PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your device 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 phones 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
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over 1 gram of body tissue, and Limbs is 4.0 W/Kg averaged over 10
grams. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. This device is complied with SAR for general population
/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in
accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the device 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 device.Before a device model is available for sale to the
public, compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown. The
highest SAR value for this model device when tested is 0.54 W/Kg for use close
to the body, and 0.67 W/Kg for Limbs. During SAR testing, this is set to
transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands,
and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage near the body with
the separation of 10 mm, and the Limbs with the separation of 0 mm. Although
the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This
is because the device 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. Additional
information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) Web site: http://www.ctia.org/

Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organisation (WHO) provides the following advice in Fact Sheet 193 Electromagnetic fields and public health: mobile watches (October 2014): Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile watches. 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’ watches to keep mobile watches away from the head and body.
Further information on exposure to radio waves can be obtained from the WHO http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/
