c) SAR Information
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless mobile CDMA 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 the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international
standards bodies :
n
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
n
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986
n
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
n
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. 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 CDMA phone employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg*.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when
used with an accessory that contains no metal and that position the antenna of the CDMA phone a
minimum of 1.5cm from the body. The SAR values of this CDMA phone are 1.3 W/g (body) and 0.122 W/
g (head). Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: NM8 HARRIER.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) web-site as http://www.devicefacts.net.
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile CDMA phone 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 usage.
Normal condition only to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory
operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of
the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment
