Health and Safety Information 3
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile
phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of
the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body
expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC
requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of
1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection to the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using 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 reported 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 of the phone.
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 SAR limit established by the FCC.
Tests for each model phone are performed in positions
and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC. For body-worn operation, this
phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with an accessory that contains
no metal and that positions the mobile device a
minimum of 1.
5
cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance
with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC has granted
an Equipment Authorization for this mobile device with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. This device has a FCC
