Radio Frequency (RF)
Signals
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone contains a radio
transmitter and receiver.
Your phone 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. 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
scientifi c organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientifi c studies.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile
phones employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specifi c Absorption Rate (SAR). The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certifi ed power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although
the SAR is determined at the highest certifi ed
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 output.
Before a phone model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and certifi ed
to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the U.S. government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests
are performed on position and locations (for
example, at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by FCC for each model.
