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 modem when tested for use near
the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.14 W/kg. 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 FCC ID: Q78-A605. 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.
SAFETy INFORMATION
SAFETy INFORMATION FOR FIXED
WIRELESS TERMINALS POTENTIALLy
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPhERES
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with
a potentially explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in
such areas could cauls e an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
INTERFERENCE TO MEDICAL DIVICES
Certain electronic equipment may be
shielded against RF signal from you
wireless phone. (pacemakers, Hearing Aids,
and so on) Turn your phone OFF in health
c are facilities when any regulations posted
in these areas instruct you to do so. RF
signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic system in
motor vehicles.
EXPOSURE TO RF ENERGy
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Do not touch the
antenna unnecessarily when the phone is
in use. Do not move the antenna close to,
or couching any exposed part of the body
when making a call.
