Important Safety Information 157
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits
radio frequency (RF) signals. Your phone is designed to transmit just enough RF power to
reach the network. The system handling your call controls the RF power level. Depending on
network conditions, your phone may operate at an actual SAR level below the maximum value
specified. Your phone is designed not to exceed the recommended international guidelines for
limits on RF exposure.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels
with respect to human exposure to RF signals.
More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health
agencies and industries developed this updated standard after reviewing the available body of
research. In 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, always use an appropriate
accessory if using the phone for body worn operations. Accessories used with this phone for
body-worn operations must not contain any metallic components and must provide at least
0.39 inches (1.0 centimeters) separation distance between the user’s body and the phone,
including antennas. Body worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov .
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a
user of 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 than 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.
