FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.

SAR information
This model phone meets the government’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 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 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 1.6
W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted
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 phone model 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 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 0.52 W/Kg
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.19 W/Kg.
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements). 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 SAR testing for Body-worn operation was performed with a belt clip that
provided a 1cm separation. The User’s Manual indi
cates that any holsters/clips used with this device should contain no metallic
components.
