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
0.567W/Kg
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.670W/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 RFexposure 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:
HA4-GQ8
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.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of
15mm
must be maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips,
holsters, and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do
not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an
approved antenna.
