FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States
with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this device complies with
the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to the
device that are not expressly approved by High Tech Computer Corporation may void
the user's authority to operate the equipment.
SAR Information
SAR Value:
•
1.31 W/kg @ 1g (Body)
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
For body worn operation, this mobile computer has been tested and meets the FCC
RF exposure guidelines when used with the High Tech Computer Corp. accessories
supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Your mobile computer is 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 Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These
limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously
set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992.
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86.
1986.
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.
•
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. 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 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 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 operating can be well below the
