FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
Read this information before using your phone
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in
Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The
design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unanthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments
could impair call quality, damaged the phone, or result in violation of FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the
skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device has been tested for body-worn operation and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Body-worn operation is restricted to accessories that maintain a minimum of 1.5cm separation to the
body and do not contain metallic components.
Use of any other body-worn accessories may not compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website an www.fcc.gov
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user
for a wireless handset. The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and
calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at
their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be
substantially less that the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its
proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is
that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SAR’s do not represent a variation in
safety. All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety.
As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not mean variations in
safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6W/kg are considered safe for use by the
public.
The highest reported SAR values of VK4000 are :
GSM mode-Head : 0.687W/kg Body-worn : 0.168W/kg
PCS mode-Head : 0.303W/kg
Body-worn : 0.263W/kg
