About RF Exposure and Specific Absorption Rates
Your device emits low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy when it is powered on and also when Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth® functionality is enabled. RF energy exposure from devices is quantified by a unit of measurement called the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR values for this device meet the international SAR limit guidelines and are below the limits specified in those requirements.
SAR data information is provided for residents in countries that have adopted the SAR limits recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) or the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The ICNIRP specifies a SAR limit of 2 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of body tissue while the IEEE specifies a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. These requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health conditions.
Test for SAR levels are conducted using standardized methods with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands in head and body positions. However, since the device is designed to use the minimum power necessary to access a network, the actual SAR level can be well below this value. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various device models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
The SAR values and test distances differ depending on the measuring method, the device tested and if the Wi-Fi hotspot functionality is used, but only the highest SAR values are presented.
The WHO (World Health Organization) has stated that current scientific information does not indicate the need for special precautions regarding the use of devices. For more information on this topic, please visit
