FCC Regulations
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, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device 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 radiated 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 guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– -
ncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the United States. During SAR testing, this device is set to
transmit 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 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.
The exposure standard for wireless employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: A6GC4D-4MUSV8. For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage near the body is 1.11 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
