Note 1: Occupational/controlled 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 exposure and can exercise control over
their exposure. Limits for 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.

Note 2: General population/uncontrolled exposures apply in situations in which the general public may be
exposed, or in which persons that are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be fully aware of
the potential for exposure or can not exercise control over their exposure.

                     S: power density mW/cm2
                     G: numeric gain of antenna relative to isotropic radiator
                     r: distance to centre of radiation in cm


5.6.3.    RF Evaluation
Remark(s):

The EUT contained ZigBee/ BLE and WiFi radio modules with the following operating conditions:
    BLE and WiFi may transmit at the same time
    Zigbee and WiFi may transmit at the same time
    BLE and Zigbee will NOT transmit at the same time


Pursuant to KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v06, Section 7.2:

Simultaneous transmission MPE test exclusion applies when the sum of the MPE ratios for all simultaneously
transmitting antennas incorporated in a host device is ≤ 1.0, according to calculated/estimated, numerically
modeled, or measured field strengths or power density.

The sum of the MPE ratios for all simultaneously transmitting antennas incorporated in the EUT is ≤ 1.0 as
calculated in the following table.
