Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless
Device
is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government. These
FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both
cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts
drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the
scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile
device
s employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure
of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts
per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless
Devices
to comply with a safety limit
of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/ kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
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 maximum
value. This is because the
Device
is designed to operate at multiple power levels so
as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you
are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a new model
Device
is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the exposure limit established by the
FCC. Tests for each model
Device
are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at
the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC.
Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF
exposure guidelines.

Please use the
devices
FCC ID number for search,
A3LSMR750G.
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find
the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular
device
, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR
for a particular
device
. Additional product specific SAR information can also be
