SAR: Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the UPCS handset transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the high- est certified power level, the actual SAR level of the UPCS handset while opera- tion can be well below the maximum value. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a Handset model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
Health and Safety Information FCC: Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals. Your wireless handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio fre- quency (RF) energy set by 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 guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies: This EUT has been shown to be capable of compliance for localized specific absorption rate > (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/general population exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE> Std.
