                       A fixed device is defined as a device physically secured at one fixed location and
Fixed
                       cannot be easily re-located.
                       A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other
                       than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation
Mobile                 distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the
                       transmitter's radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons.
                       (47 CFR 2.1091)
                       A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that
Portable               the radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of

                                         Exposure Categories
                       Limits apply in situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of
                       their employment provided those persons are fully aware of the potential for
Occupational /         exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. Limits for
Controlled             occupational/controlled exposure also apply in situations when an individual is
                       transient through a location where occupational/controlled limits apply provided
                       he or she is made aware of the potential for exposure.
                       Exposures apply in situations in which the general public may be exposed, or in
General population /   which persons that are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not
uncontrolled           be fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their
                       exposure.

                                            FCC SAR test exclusion
Excerpt from KDB 447498:

Unless specifically required by the published RF exposure KDB procedures, standalone 1-g head or
body and 10-g extremity SAR evaluation for general population exposure conditions, by measurement
or numerical simulation, is not required when the corresponding SAR Exclusion Threshold condition,
listed below, is satisfied. These test exclusion conditions are based on source-based time-averaged
maximum conducted output power of the RF channel requiring evaluation, adjusted for tune-up
tolerance, and the minimum test separation distance required for the exposure conditions.

The minimum test separation distance is determined by the smallest distance from the antenna and
radiating structures or outer surface of the device, according to the host form factor, exposure
conditions and platform requirements, to any part of the body or extremity of a user or bystander

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:

           f [GHz] is the RF channel transmit frequency in GHz
           Power and distance are rounded to the nearest mW and mm before calculation
           The result is rounded to one decimal place for comparision

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 is applied to determine SAR test exclusion.

                                  IC SAR evaluation exemptions
Excerpt from RSS-102 Issue 5:

SAR evaluation is required if the separation distance between the user and the radiating element of
the device is less than or equal to 20 cm, except when the device operates at a power level below
the following threshold limits:




                                       Assessment procedure
For the radiation source included into the device the output power is taken from a corresponding RF
test report. If needed the output power is converted to source based, time-averaged output power.
Finally the output power is compared to the FCC and IC low power SAR evaluation exemption level.
