Abstract
Disclosed are embodiments of a device that includes an orientation sensor. Based on the device's orientation, a transmit power of the device is limited to ensure that transmission of the device do not exceed regulatory requirements. The transmit power limit is based, in some embodiments, on a manufacturer or model of the device, which indicates a position of one or more antennas relative to the device, and allows for a determination of an amount of power transmitted above the horizon in a given orientation.
