Government Standards for Radio Frequency SignalsIn 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI's 1982 standard for safety levels
with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and
physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industries developed this standard.
In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard. In
August 1996, the FCC adopted a hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard
and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP). The Kindle design complies with updated NCRP standards.
FCC Compliance Statement This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
This device meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines and is certified with the FCC
as FCC ID number: WI5-1210.
Radio Frequency Exposure Information (SAR) Your Kindle device meets the U.S. government's requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Kindle is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to RF
energy set by the U.S. FCC.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the specific
absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). Tests
for SAR 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.
