THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and
worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.15
W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.393W/Kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for
safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC
RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file
with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid after searching on PP4TX-110C.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found
on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-
site at http://www.wow-com.com.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones
used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates a sub-stantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
