RF Exposure Info

For FCC Standalone SAR test exclusion considerations FCC ID: AL8-BBS Tunable Range F(GHz) Low F(GHz) High 2.402 2.480 According to KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v05 4.3.1 Standalone SAR test exclusion considerations The 1-g and 10-g SAR test exclusion thresholds for 100 MHz to 6 GHz at test separation distances ≤ 50 mm are determined by: [(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW)/(min. test separation distance, mm)] · [√f(GHz)] ≤ 3.0 for 1-g SAR and ≤ 7.5 for 10-g extremity SAR Note: when the minimum test separation distance is < 5 mm, a distance of 5 mm is applied to determine SAR test exclusion. Based on the Maximum measured transmitter power: Max Average Power (dBm) Maximum Antenna Gain (dBi) Pout EIRP (mW) 7.42 2.17 9.11 Maximum TX Power is 5.52 mW Conducted and 9.11 mW EIRP [(9.11 mW/5 mm)* √2.441(GHz)]=2.85 <3.0 Conclusion: Bluetooth SAR was not required.
