Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas
posted power off “two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with
blasting operations.
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted
by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied 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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are
to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when tested for use at
the ear is 1.14 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.32 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon
available enhancements and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
