Grant Notes
Power listed is the maximum combined conducted output power. SAR compliance has been established in the laptop computer(s) configurations with USB slot(s) configurations as tested in this filing, and can be used in laptop computers with substantially similar physical dimensions, construction, and electrical and RF characteristics. Compliance of this device in all final host configurations is the responsibility of the Grantee. End-users and responsible parties must be provided with operating and installation instructions to ensure RF exposure compliance. Operations in the 5.15-5.25GHz band are restricted to indoor usage only. This device has 20 MHz, 40 MHz and 80 MHz channel bandwidth modes. The highest reported SAR value for body-worn use condition is 1.18 W/kg.
