Your
wrist watch
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
1.6 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
mouth
is
0.1
2
W/Kg
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
3.10
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 FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RFexposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone 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

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. * 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 sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
