* If using the RF module in a portable application (For example - If the module is used in a handheld device and
the antenna is less than 20cm from the human body when the device is operation): The integrator is
responsible for passing additional SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing based on FCC rules 2.1091 and FCC
Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, OET Bulletin and Supplement C.
The testing results will be submitted to the FCC for approval prior to selling the integrated unit. The required
SAR testing measures emissions from the module and how they affect the person.
