FCC RF exposure information
Your handset 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 Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government.
The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by independent scientific
organisations 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 handsets 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.
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 handset when
tested for use at the ear is 0.555 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 0.767 W/kg.
