13. Wireless Compliance
FCC ID: 2ACA9-10002
FCC Regulations Compliance Statement
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted a safety standard for human ex-
posure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment.
This wireless electro- cardiovascular monitor has been evaluated under FCC Bulletin OET 65C
(01-01) and found to be compliant to the requirements of uncontrolled environmental limits as set
forth in CFR 47 Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices
when operated in accordance with the operation guidelines described in this manual. Proper op-
eration of this radio device according to the instruction in this publication will result in user expo-
sure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
The RhythmStar contains a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Com-
munications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guide-
lines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device
transmitting 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 device while op-
erating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to oper-
ate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In gen-
eral, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the
FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model.
This device has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when worn in a holster or
belt clip over belt or waistband of an outer garment with 15mm minimum separation distance
from the body.
The highest reported SAR value for this body-worn device is: 1.44 W/kg.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless electro-cardiovascular monitor
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the “Display Grant”
section of: http://t
