Compliance with International Standards 77
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 safe-
ty margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, re-
gardless of age and health. The exposure guidelines for devices
employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorp-
tion Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines
is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in
all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating
device can be below the maximum value because the device is
designed to use only the power required to reach the network.
This equipment complies with the European Council Recommen-
dation of 12 July 1999 on the Limitation of Exposure of the Gen-
eral Public to Electromagnetic Fields [1999/519/EC].
