Page 33: Bodysar
3.7.2 BodySar The L816-AM module supports the BodySar detection function. The voltage level is high by default for BodySar, and when the SAR sensor detects the closing human body, the BodySar signal will be pulled down. As the result, the module then lowers down its emission power to its default threshold value, thus reducing the RF radiation on the human body. -
