RF Exposure (for corresponding 3G models only)

General Statement on RF energy

Your wireless WAN embedded PC contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your Notebook PC, the system handling your connection controls the power level at which your Notebook PC transmits.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information

This wireless WAN embedded PC is included a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines.

These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/ kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the body was 0.565 W/kg. (SAR measurement distance is 0 cm from the phantom)

As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum

level required to reach the network.

The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls to keep the mobile devices away from the head and body.

Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields

For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organisation (WHO) provides the following advice:

Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of the Notebook PC. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of connections.
