Vodafone K5161Z Broadband USB Stick
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 organization 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 Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for wireless devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the body was 0.795 W/kg* with 5 mm distance. SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting power and where supported with multiple simultaneous transmitters. The actual SAR of this device while operating is typically well below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to communicate with the network.
The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50566 and EN 62209-2.
Body-worn operation
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the device must be used with a minimum of 0.5 cm 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.
