This device contains multiple transmitters that may operate simultaneously, and therefore requires a simultaneous
transmission analysis according to FCC KDB Publication 447498 D01v06 4.3.2 procedures.
Table 1-2
Simultaneous Transmission Scenarios
1. 2.4 GHz WLAN and 2.4 GHz Bluetooth cannot transmit simultaneously.
2. 2.4 GHz WLAN and 5 GHz WLAN cannot transmit simultaneously.
3. This device supports 2x2 MIMO Tx for WLAN. 802.11a/g/n/ac supports CDD and 802.11 n/ac additionally
supports SDM. Each WLAN antenna can transmit independently or together when operating with MIMO.
4. This device supports VoWIFI.
The WLAN/Bluetooth chipset in this device is produced by two different suppliers. The electrically identical
modules are manufactured with the identical mechanical structure to meet the same specifications and
functions. Two device variants are referenced as Variant 1 and Variant 2 in this report. WLAN/Bluetooth SAR
worst case configuration was spotchecked on Variant 1 and Variant 2. The Variant with the highest reported
SAR value was evaluated for the remaining WLAN/Bluetooth configurations.
Based on the maximum allowed power for the respective antennas, U-NII-2A was evaluated for Antenna A
and Antenna B SAR. Additional testing for U-NII-1 Antenna A and Antenna B were not required since all
reported SAR was less than 1.2 W/kg per FCC KDB Publication 248227 D01v02r02.
This device supports channel 1-13 for 2.4 GHz WLAN. However, since channels 12 and 13 have equal or less
maximum output power, channels 1, 6, and 11 were considered for SAR testing per KDB 248227 D01v02r02.

The FCC and Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada have adopted the guidelines for
evaluating the environmental effects of radio frequency (RF) radiation in ET Docket 93-62 on Aug. 6, 1996 and
Health Canada Safety Code 6 to protect the public and workers from the potential hazards of RF emissions due to
FCC-regulated portable devices. [1]
The safety limits used for the environmental evaluation measurements are based on the criteria published by the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for localized specific absorption rate (SAR) in IEEE/ANSI C95.1-
1992 Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3
kHz to 300 GHz [3] and Health Canada RF Exposure Guidelines Safety Code 6 [22]. The measurement
procedure described in IEEE/ANSI C95.3-2002 Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially
Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields - RF and Microwave [4] is used for guidance in measuring the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) due to the RF radiation exposure from the Equipment Under Test (EUT). These criteria for
SAR evaluation are similar to those recommended by the International Committee for Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) in Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields,”
Report No. Vol 74. SAR is a measure of the rate of energy absorption due to exposure to an RF transmitting
source. SAR values have been related to threshold levels for potential biological hazards.

= conductivity of the tissue-simulating material (S/m)

E = Total RMS electric field strength (V/m)
NOTE: The primary factors that control rate of energy absorption were found to be the wavelength of the incident field in relation to the
dimensions and geometry of the irradiated organism, the orientation of the organism in relation to the polarity of field vect ors, the presence of
reflecting surfaces, and whether conductive contact is made by the organism with a ground plane.[6]

1. The SAR distribution at the exposed side of the head or body was
measured at a distance no greater than 5.0 mm from the inner surface of
the shell. The area covered the entire dimension of the device-head and
body interface and the horizontal grid resolution was determined per
FCC KDB Publication 865664 D01v01r04 (See Table 3-1) and IEEE
1528-2013.
2. The point SAR measurement was taken at the maximum SAR region
determined from Step 1 to enable the monitoring of SAR
fluctuations/drifts during the 1g/10g cube evaluation. SAR at this fixed Figure 3-1 point
was measured and used as a reference value. Sample SAR Area
Scan
3. Based on the area scan data, the peak of the region with maximum SAR was
determined by spline interpolation. Around this point, a volume was assessed according to the measurement
resolution and volume size requirements of FCC KDB Publication 865664 D01v01r04 (See Table 3-1) and
IEEE 1528-2013. On the basis of this data set, the spatial peak SAR value was evaluated with the following
procedure (see references or the DASY manual online for more details):
a. SAR values at the inner surface of the phantom are extrapolated from the measured values along the
line away from the surface with spacing no greater than that in Table 3-1. The extrapolation was based on
a least-squares algorithm. A polynomial of the fourth order was calculated through the points in the z-axis
(normal to the phantom shell).
b. After the maximum interpolated values were calculated between the points in the cube, the SAR was
averaged over the spatial volume (1g or 10g) using a 3D-Spline interpolation algorithm. The 3D-spline is
composed of three one-dimensional splines with the “Not a knot” condition (in x, y, and z directions). The
volume was then integrated with the trapezoidal algorithm. One thousand points (10 x 10 x 10) were
obtained through interpolation, in order to calculate the averaged SAR.
c. All neighboring volumes were evaluated until no neighboring volume with a higher average value was
found.
4. The SAR reference value, at the same location as step 2, was re-measured after the zoom scan was complete
to calculate the SAR drift. If the drift deviated by more than 5%, the SAR test and drift measurements were
repeated.

4.2 SAR Testing for Tablet per KDB Publication 616217 D04v01r02
Per FCC KDB Publication 616217 D04v01r02, the back surface and edges of the tablet should be tested for SAR
compliance with the tablet touching the phantom. The SAR Exclusion Threshold in KDB 447498 D01v06 can be
applied to determine SAR test exclusion for adjacent edge configurations. The closest distance from the antenna
to an adjacent tablet edge is used to determine if SAR testing is required for the adjacent edges, with the adjacent
edge positioned against the phantom and the edge containing the antenna positioned perpendicular to the
phantom.

UNCONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS are defined as locations where there is the exposure of individuals who
have no knowledge or control of their exposure. The general population/uncontrolled exposure limits are
applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a
consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise
control over their exposure. Members of the general public would come under this category when exposure is not
employment-related; for example, in the case of a wireless transmitter that exposes persons in its vicinity.

A periodic duty factor is required for current generation SAR systems to measure SAR. When 802.11 frame
gaps are accounted for in the transmission, a maximum transmission duty factor of 92 - 96% is typically
achievable in most test mode configurations. A minimum transmission duty factor of 85% is required to avoid
certain hardware and device implementation issues related to wide range SAR scaling. The reported SAR is
scaled to 100% transmission duty factor to determine compliance at the maximum tune-up tolerance limit.

1) When the reported SAR of the highest measured maximum output power channel for the exposure
configuration is ≤ 0.8 W/kg, no further SAR testing is required for 802.11b DSSS in that exposure
configuration.
2) When the reported SAR is > 0.8 W/kg, SAR is required for that position using the next highest
measured output power channel. When any reported SAR is > 1.2 W/kg, SAR is required for the third
channel; i.e., all channels require testing.
2.4 GHz 802.11 g/n OFDM are additionally evaluated for SAR if the highest reported SAR for 802.11b,
adjusted by the ratio of the OFDM to DSSS specified maximum output power, is > 1.2 W/kg. When SAR is
required for OFDM modes in 2.4 GHz band, the Initial Test Configuration Procedures should be followed.
When 10g SAR measurement is considered, a factor of 2.5 is applied to the thresholds above.
When the reported SAR is ≤ 0.8 W/kg, no additional measurements on other test channels are required.
Otherwise, SAR is evaluated using the subsequent highest average RF output channel until the reported SAR
result is ≤ 1.2 W/kg or all channels are measured. When there are multiple untested channels having the
same subsequent highest average RF output power, the channel with higher frequency from the lowest
802.11 mode is considered for SAR measurements (See Section 6.2.5). When 10g SAR measurement is
considered, a factor of 2.5 is applied to the thresholds above.

Justification for test configurations for WLAN per KDB Publication 248227 D01v02r02:
• Power measurements were performed for the transmission mode configuration with the highest maximum
output power specified for production units.
• For transmission modes with the same maximum output power specification, powers were measured for
the largest channel bandwidth, lowest order modulation and lowest data rate.
• For transmission modes with identical maximum specified output power, channel bandwidth, modulation
and data rates, power measurements were required for all identical configurations.
• For each transmission mode configuration, powers were measured for the highest and lowest channels;
and at the mid-band channel(s) when there were at least 3 channels supported. For configurations with
multiple mid-band channels, due to an even number of channels, both channels were measured.
• The bolded data rate and channel above were tested for SAR.
• The WLAN chipset in this device is produced by two different suppliers. The electrically identical modules
are manufactured with the identical mechanical structure to meet the same specifications and functions.
Two device variants are referenced as Variant 1 and Variant 2 in this report.
• WLAN SAR worst case configuration was spotchecked on Variant 1 and Variant 2. The Variant with the
highest reported SAR value was evaluated for the remaining WLAN configurations.
• Full power measurements were performed for Variant 1 and Variant 2 per FCC KDB Publication 248227.

The above measured tissue parameters were used in the DASY software. The DASY software was used to
perform interpolation to determine the dielectric parameters at the SAR test device frequencies (per KDB
Publication 865664 D01v01r04 and IEEE 1528-2013 6.6.1.2). The tissue parameters listed in the SAR test plots
may slightly differ from the table above due to significant digit rounding in the software.

Bluetooth Notes
1. Bluetooth SAR was measured with a test mode with hopping disabled with DH5 operation. The reported
SAR was scaled to the 77.5% transmission duty factor to determine compliance since the duty factor of
the device is limited to 77.5% per the manufacturer. See Section 7.3 for the time domain plot and
calculation for the duty factor of the device.

10.1 Introduction
The following procedures adopted from FCC KDB Publication 447498 D01v06 are applicable to devices with built-
in unlicensed transmitters such as 802.11 and Bluetooth devices which may simultaneously transmit together.
Note:
** The SAR distributions for at least one of the antennas are spatially separated from the other antennas per FCC
KDB Publication 248227 Section 6.1 procedures. Therefore, the simultaneous transmissions were treated
independently for this configuration. See Section 10.4 for more information about the Spatial Separation Analysis.

Note: (*) When the antenna separation distance was > 50 mm, an estimated SAR of 0.4 W/kg was used to
determine the simultaneous transmission SAR exclusion for test positions excluded per FCC KDB
Publication 447498D01v06. The simultaneous SAR sum using this estimation are highlighted in gray.
Spatial separation was determined by inspection of the area scan SAR distributions to confirm that at all locations,
SAR was < 1.2 W/kg, where at least 90% of the SAR is attributed to a single SAR distribution. See below for
illustrations of the spatial separated antennas considered.

Per FCC KDB Publication 865664 D01v01r04, SAR measurement variability was assessed for each frequency
band, which was determined by the SAR probe calibration point and tissue-equivalent medium used for the
device measurements. When both head and body tissue-equivalent media were required for SAR measurements
in a frequency band, the variability measurement procedures were applied to the tissue medium with the highest
measured SAR, using the highest measured SAR configuration for that tissue-equivalent medium. These
additional measurements were repeated after the completion of all measurements requiring the same head or
body tissue-equivalent medium in a frequency band. The test device was returned to ambient conditions (normal
room temperature) with the battery fully charged before it was re-mounted on the device holder for the repeated
measurement(s) to minimize any unexpected variations in the repeated results.
SAR Measurement Variability was assessed using the following procedures for each frequency band:
1) When the original highest measured SAR is ≥ 0.80 W/kg, the measurement was repeated once.
2) A second repeated measurement was performed only if the ratio of largest to smallest SAR for the
original and first repeated measurements was > 1.20 or when the original or repeated measurement was
≥ 1.45 W/kg (~ 10% from the 1g SAR limit).
3) A third repeated measurement was performed only if the original, first or second repeated measurement
was ≥ 1.5 W/kg and the ratio of largest to smallest SAR for the original, first and second repeated
measurements is > 1.20.
4) Repeated measurements are not required when the original highest measured SAR is < 0.80 W/kg

Note: CBT (Calibrated Before Testing). Prior to testing, the measurement paths containing a cable, amplifier, attenuator, coupler or filter were
connected to a calibrated source (i.e. a signal generator) to determine the losses of the measurement path. The power meter offset was then
adjusted to compensate for the measurement system losses. This level offset is stored within the power meter before measurements are
made. This calibration verification procedure applies to the system verification and output power measurements. The calibrated reading is
then taken directly from the power meter after compensation of the losses for all final power measurements. Each equipment item was used
solely within its respective calibration period.

Please note that the absorption and distribution of electromagnetic energy in the body are very complex
phenomena that depend on the mass, shape, and size of the body, the orientation of the body with respect to the
field vectors, and the electrical properties of both the body and the environment. Other variables that may play a
substantial role in possible biological effects are those that characterize the environment (e.g. ambient
temperature, air velocity, relative humidity, and body insulation) and those that characterize the individual (e.g.
age, gender, activity level, debilitation, or disease). Because various factors may interact with one another to vary
the specific biological outcome of an exposure to electromagnetic fields, any protection guide should consider
maximal amplification of biological effects as a result of field-body interactions, environmental conditions, and
physiological variables. [3]

APPENDIX E: SAR SYSTEM VALIDATION
Per FCC KDB Publication 865664 D02v01r02, SAR system validation status should be documented to confirm
measurement accuracy. The SAR systems (including SAR probes, system components and software versions)
used for this device were validated against its performance specifications prior to the SAR measurements.
Reference dipoles were used with the required tissue- equivalent media for system validation, according to the
procedures outlined in FCC KDB Publication 865664 D01v01r04 and IEEE 1528-2013. Since SAR probe
calibrations are frequency dependent, each probe calibration point was validated at a frequency within the valid
frequency range of the probe calibration point, using the system that normally operates with the probe for routine
SAR measurements and according to the required tissue-equivalent media.
A tabulated summary of the system validation status including the validation date(s), measurement frequencies,
SAR probes and tissue dielectric parameters has been included.

NOTE: While the probes have been calibrated for both CW and modulated signals, all measurements were
performed using communication systems calibrated for CW signals only. Modulations in the table above represent
test configurations for which the measurement system has been validated per FCC KDB Publication 865664
D01v01r04 for scenarios when CW probe calibrations are used with other signal types. SAR systems were
validated for modulated signals with a periodic duty cycle, such as GMSK, or with a high peak to average ratio (>5
dB), such as OFDM according to FCC KDB Publication 865664 D01v01r04.
