10 GeoExplorer 6000 Series User Guide
Exposure to radio frequency radiation from Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
transmitters
This device is approved as a portable device with respect to Radio Frequency (RF)
exposure compliance. The radiated output power of the internal wireless radio
transmitters is less than 100 milliwatt, which results in exposure levels far below the
FCC radio frequency exposure limits, even when operated in close proximity to the
body. The internal wireless radios operate within guidelines found in international
radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect the consensus
of the international scientific community. Trimble therefore believes the internal
wireless radios are safe for use by users. The level of electromagnetic energy emitted is
hundreds of times lower than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices
such as mobile phones. However, the use of wireless radios may be restricted in some
situations or environments, such as on aircraft. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are
encouraged to ask for authorization before turning on the wireless radios.
Exposure to radio frequency radiation from cellular wireless
transmitters
GeoExplorer 6000 series handhelds equipped with wireless cellular modem radios have
been designed and manufactured to meet safety requirements for limiting exposure to
radio waves. When used in accordance with the instructions set forth in this manual,
the equipment has been independently verified to not exceed the emission limits for
safe exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy as specified by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government in 47 CFR §2.1093.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific organization 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 all wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR; the FCC limits for SAR for general
population/uncontrolled exposure for partial-body and hands/wrists/feet and ankles
are 1.6W/kg and 4W/kg respectively
1
. Devices operating close to a base station
operate at SAR levels well below the maximum value specified above. Tests for SAR on
the GeoExplorer 6000 series have been undertaken using the standard operating
positions adopted by the FCC that test the device for SAR while it is transmitting at the
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device on the basis that all
reported SAR levels have been evaluated to be compliant with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines.

In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety .
