Explosive Environments
Blasting Caps and Areas
GasStations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless
devices such as your phone or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas, below decks on boats, fuelor
chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Power off your mobil
e 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) Exposure
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 e
mploys a unit of measurement known as the
Specific 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 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 m
ultiple 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
0.37 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.43 W/kg (Body-worn
measurements differ among device models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC
require
ments.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement.
