radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines include safety margins designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted by using standardized
method with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used
frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
Spice
models, they
are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
The SAR limit recommended by the international Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP), which is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) grams of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by SGS Taiwan Ltd. for use at the
ear is 0.574 W/kg (10g). SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that
have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone, therefore:
Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting permission.
Pacemaker
Mobile phones may affect the operation of some implanted cardiac pacemakers and other
medically implanted equipments. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 20 cm
(6 inches) should be maintained between a hand-held wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
independent research by the Wireless Technology Research Association.
Persons with pacemakers
Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their pacemakers
when the phone is switched on.
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off your
phone immediately.
