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 employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR  
limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions  
accepted by the FCC with the EUT transmitting at the specified power level in different channels  
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels  
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is  
after searching on FCC ID: QT7ASUSWSDA1. To ensure that RF exposure levels remain at or below  
the tested levels, use a belt-clip, holster, or similar accessory that maintains a minimum separation  
distance of 5mm between your body and the device.
