Test Requirements:
                                  From FCC KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v06:
4.3. General SAR test exclusion guidance
4.3.1. Standalone SAR test exclusion considerations
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 Test Exclusion Threshold condition(s), listed below, is (are) 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.28 The minimum test
separation distance defined in 4.1 f) 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. To qualify for SAR test exclusion, the test separation distances applied must be fully
explained and justified, typically in the SAR measurement or SAR analysis report, by the operating configurations and exposure
conditions of the transmitter and applicable host platform requirements, according to the required published RF exposure KDB
procedures. When no other RF exposure testing or reporting are required, a statement of justification and compliance must be
included in the equipment approval, in lieu of the SAR report, to qualify for SAR test exclusion. When required, the device
specific conditions described in the other published RF exposure KDB procedures must be satisfied before applying these SAR
test exclusion provisions; for example, handheld PTT two-way radios, handsets, laptops and tablets, etc. 29

a) For 100 MHz to 6 GHz and test separation distances ≤ 50 mm, the 1-g and 10-g SAR test exclusion thresholds are determined
by the following:
[(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,30 where
           f(GHz) is the RF channel transmit frequency in GHz
          Power and distance are rounded to the nearest mW and mm before calculation31
           The result is rounded to one decimal place for comparison
           The values 3.0 and 7.5 are referred to as numeric thresholds in step b) 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.

                                                                RSS-102, Section 2.5.1
Exemption Limits for Routine Evaluation – SAR Evaluation

SAR evaluation is required if the separation distance between the user and/or bystander and the antenna and/or radiating
element of the device is less than or equal to 20 cm, except when the device operates at or below the applicable output power
level (adjusted for tune-up tolerance) for the specified separation distance defined in Table 1.




Notes:
4 The exemption limits in Table 1 are based on measurements and simulations of half-wave dipole antennas at separation
distances of 5 mm to 25 mm from a flat phantom, providing a SAR value of approximately 0.4 W/kg for 1 g of tissue. For low
frequencies (300 MHz to 835 MHz), the exemption limits are derived from a linear fit. For high frequencies (1900 MHz and
above), the exemption limits are derived from a third order polynomial fit.

5 Transmitters operating between 0.003-10 MHz, meeting the exemption from routine SAR evaluation, shall demonstrate
compliance to the instantaneous limits in Section 4.

Output power level shall be the higher of the maximum conducted or equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) source-
based, time-averaged output power. For controlled use devices where the 8 W/kg for 1 gram of tissue applies, the exemption
limits for routine evaluation in Table 1 are multiplied by a factor of 5. For limb-worn devices where the 10 gram value applies, the
exemption limits for routine evaluation in Table 1 are multiplied by a factor of 2.5. If the operating frequency of the device is
between two frequencies located in Table 1, linear interpolation shall be applied for the applicable separation distance. For test
separation distance less than 5 mm, the exemption limits for a separation distance of 5 mm can be applied to determine if a
routine evaluation is required.

For medical implants devices, the exemption limit for routine evaluation is set at 1 mW. The output power of a medical implants
device is defined as the higher of the conducted or e.i.r.p to determine whether the device is exempt from the SAR evaluation.

Test Setup Details:
The EUT is connected to a companion device in either A2DP (sink) mode or speakerphone (handsfree) mode, or in BLE mode
sending sensor data to the companion device. The connection is made through a directional coupler with a power meter
attached to monitor the transmissions from the EUT. Transmitter output power and duty cycle are monitored using an ETS
power meter probe.

Maximum output power was measured conducted with the antenna disconnected; the antenna gain is added to the conducted
output power to determine e.i.r.p, as appropriate. Data is taken from the Output Power sections in the DSS and DTS reports.

The duty cycle is used with the e.i.r.p. measurement to calculate the time-averaged output power.
