Abstract

Methods and systems for delaying a determination to adjust a first power transmit level when a presence of a human body part is detected proximate to a user device are described. A user device detects a presence of a human body part and, in response, determines whether to adjust the first transmit power level to a second transmit power level, and delays the determination by a specified amount of time that is programmable. The user device transmits the information using the second transmit power level when the presence of the human body part is detected.
