T H I S M O D E L P H O N E M E E T S T H E G O V E R N M E N T’S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (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 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
1.6W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its 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 ist 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 1.
04W
/
k
g and when
worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.766W/kg
, (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements). [Labeling Committee note : if applicable, if body-worn SARs are
required]. 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 RF emission guidelines.

* 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
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.
