FCC Radio Frequency Exposure and SAR
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power
wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power
wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known adverse health effects.
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by scientific
organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiations Protection) and IEEE (The
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure of the general population. The levels
include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for
any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by
the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory
conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is because
the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety.
While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile phones, VAIO PC is designed to meet radio frequency
exposure guidelines.
This product has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with a specific SONY accessory
bundled with this device. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If
you do not use a body-worn accessory, position the device at least the distance that accessory provides.
SONY has not measured and makes no representation about, the body worn SAR levels when any changes to the
original product.
(For PCG-1J1L models with wireless LAN and wireless WAN) The personal computer (PCG-1J1L) has been tested
and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on radio frequency energy
(RF) exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the personal computer (PCG-1J1L) has been shown to be
0.998 W/kg when 850 band and BT are transmitting simultaneously.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating with any other antenna or transmitter except Grant
condition. Users are not permitted to modify this transmitter device. Any unauthorized change made to this device
could void your authority to operate this device.
(Wireless WAN and Wireless LAN transmitter do not operate simultaneously.)
Personal Medical Devices
When Wireless WAN (EDGE module) power is on the transmitting, it may affect the operation of cardiac
pacemakers and other implanted equipment. If a minimum distance of 8 inches (20 cm) is kept between the PC and
the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
immediately turn off WAN feature. Contact your cardiologist for more information.
For other medical devices, please consult the manufacture of the device.
Emergency Calls
EDGE module that is embedded to SONY VAIO do not support voice calls, hence their use for essential
communication is not possible.
