Alcatel LINKZONE 2 - Radio Frequency Exposure; SAR Information and RF Exposure Guidelines

18
Your router is a radio transmier and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permied levels of
RF energy for the general populaon. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by independent scienc
organizaons through periodic and thorough evaluaon of
scienc studies. These guidelines include a substanal 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 Specic Absorpon Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by public authories such as the Federal
Communicaons Commission of the US Government (FCC), or
by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body
ssue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operang
posions with the router transming at its highest cered
power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest cered power
level, the actual SAR level of the router while operang can
be well below the maximum value. This is because the router
is designed to operate at mulple power levels so as to use
only the power required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base staon antenna, the lower the
power output of the router. Before a router model is available
for sale to the public, compliance with naonal regulaons and
standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model router when tested is
0.97 W/Kg for use close to the body.
While there may be dierences between the SAR levels of
various routers and at various posions, they all meet the
government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn
operaon, the router meets FCC RF exposure guidelines
provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the
handset at least 10 mm from the body. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
