General RF Exposure Information

Medical Guardian cellular devices use radio signals to connect to wireless networks. All products have been tested and meet applicable limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. SAR limits depend on whether Medical Guardian cellular devices are used against the head or on the wrist. In some countries, the SAR limit is 1.6 watts per kilogram averaged over 1 gram of tissue for use against the head and 4.0 watts per kilogram averaged over 10 grams of tissue for use on the wrist. In other countries, the SAR limit is 2.0 watts per kilogram averaged over 10 grams of tissue for use against the head and 4.0 watts per kilogram averaged over 10 grams of tissue for use on the wrist.

Freedom Guardian RF Exposure Information

Freedom Guardian has been tested and meets applicable limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure.

During testing, Freedom Guardian radios are set to their highest transmission levels and placed in positions that simulate use against the head, with 10mm separation, and on the wrist, with no separation. When placing Freedom Guardian near your face, keep at least 10mm of separation to ensure exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels.

Although this device has been tested to determine SAR in each band of operation, not all bands are available in all areas. Bands are dependent on your service provider's wireless networks.

The highest SAR values are as follows:

  • 1.6 W/kg (over 1 g) SAR Limit
    Head: 0.114
  • 4.0 W/kg (over 10 g) SAR Limit
    Wrist: 0.152
