standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
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 new model phone 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
governmentadopted 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 values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are Head: 0.747 W/Kg, Body-
worn: 0.3
68
W/Kg.
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

Appendix B: Guide to Safe and
Responsible Wireless Phone Use
Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
“Safety is the most important call you will ever
make.”
A Guide to Safe and Responsible Wireless
Phone Use
TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE U.S. TODAY
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE UNIQUE COMBINATION
OF CONVENIENCE, SAFETY AND VALUE DELIVERED
BY THE WIRELESS TELEPHONE. QUITE SIMPLY, THE
WIRELESS PHONE GIVES PEOPLE THE POWERFUL
ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE BY VOICE-ALMOST
ANYWHERE, ANYTIME-WITH THE BOSS, WITH A
CLIENT, WITH THE KIDS, WITH EMERGENCY
PERSONNEL OR EVEN WITH THE POLICE. EACH
YEAR, AMERICANS MAKE BILLIONS OF CALLS FROM
THEIR WIRELESS PHONES, AND THE NUMBERS ARE
RAPIDLY GROWING.
But an important responsibility accompanies those
benefits, one that every wireless phone user must
uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. A wireless phone can be an
invaluable tool, but good judgment must be
exercised at all times while driving a motor vehicle
whether on the phone or not.
The basic lessons are ones we all learned as
teenagers. Driving requires alertness, caution and
courtesy. It requires a heavy dose of basic common
sense-keep your head up, keep your eyes on the
road, check your mirrors frequently and watch out
for other drivers. It requires obeying all traffic signs
and signals and staying within the speed limit. It
means using seat belts and requiring other
passengers to do the same.
