Specific Absorption Rate Data Rino® 110/120/130/520HCx/530HCx This model wireless radio meets the requirements for exposure to radio waves, as set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada. Your wireless radio is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the FCC of the U.S. Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. These limits are part of the comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health. The exposure standard for wireless radios employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the radio 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 radio while operating can be well below the maximum value. Before a radio model is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the mouth and worn on the body) reported to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this product when tested for use in the face held position and when worn on the body, are listed in the following table. Product Rino 110 Rino 120 Rino 130 Rino 520HCx Rino 530HCx Face-held 1.12 W/kg Body-worn (as described in the Owner's Manual) 1.03 W/kg 1.48 W/kg 1.54 W/kg While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various products and at various positions, they all meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines. NOTE: In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for transmitting devices used by the public is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. © 2008 Garmin Ltd. or its subsidiaries September 2008 190-01000-03 Rev.
