order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity
to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) compliance
THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES WHEN USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION
This device 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 Council of the European
Union and 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 SAR limit set by Fthe CC/ IC is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue for the body (4.0 W/kg
averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles and feet). The SAR
limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg averaged over 10 grams of
tissue for the body (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists,
ankles and feet). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC/IC/EU council with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.
Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to
the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union that it does not exceed the limit established
by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure under the recommendations of the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are performed
in positions and locations as required by the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union for
each model.
To maintain compliance with FCC, IC, and EU RF exposure guidelines, when you carry a TomTom
device with an integrated mobile data module keep the device at least 20cm (8 inches) from your
body when the device is transmitting. If you use an accessory not supplied by TomTom when you
carry the device, verify that the accessory does not contain metal and keep the device at least
20cm (8 inches) from your body when the device is transmitting.
