EU Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) compliance 
THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES 
WHEN USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION 
This GPS Navigation System is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not 
to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Council of the 
European Union. 
The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg averaged over 10 
grams of tissue for the body (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, 
wrists, ankles and feet).    Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified 
by the EU council with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested 
frequency bands.  
Exposure limits 
This device complies with radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In 
order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to 
the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
