Bay Area Compliance Laboratories Corp.(Linkou Laboratory) Report No.: RLK201108001-00B Page 10 of 70 4 FCC§15.247(i), §1.1310, § 2.1091 – Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) 4.1 Applicable Standard According to FCC §2.1093 and §1.1307(b) (1), systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that ensure that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy level in excess of the Commission’s guideline. According to KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v06 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, where 1. f(GHz) is the RF channel transmit frequency in GHz. 2. Power and distance are rounded to the nearest mW and mm before calculation. 3. The result is rounded to one decimal place for comparison. 4. 3.0 and 7.5 are referred to as the numeric thresholds in the step 2 below The test exclusions are applicable only when the minimum test separation distance is ≤ 50 mm, and for transmission frequencies between 100 MHz and 6 GHz. When the minimum test separation distance is < 5 mm, a distance of 5 mm according to 4.1 f) is applied to determine SAR test exclusion. 4.2 RF Exposure Evaluation Result MPE Evaluation: Mode Frequency Range (MHz) Antenna Gain Target Power Evaluation Distance (cm) Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) MPE Limit (mW/cm 2 ) (dBi) (numeric) (dBm) (mW) BLE 2402-2480 5.89 3.8815 21.00 125.8925 20 0.0973 1.0 BR/EDR 2402-2480 5.89 3.8815 21.00 125.8925 20 0.0973 1.0 Wi-Fi 2.4G 2412-2462 5.89 3.8815 23.00 199.5262 20 0.1542 1.0 Note: Wi-Fi and BT can’t simultaneously. Result: MPE evaluation of single and simultaneous transmission meet the requirement of standard.
