it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate
with your phone, the system handling your call controls the
power level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR):
Your mobile device is a
radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were developed
by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and
include safety margins designed to assure the protection of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
In order to certify this unit for sale to the public, this
unit has been tested for RF exposure compliance at a
qualified test laboratory and found to comply with the
regulations regarding exposure to RF Energy under the
recommendations of the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are
preformed in positions and locations as required by the FCC
and IC for each model.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest
transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device while
operating is typically below that indicated below. This is
due to automatic changes to the power level of the device
to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to
communicate with the network.
The SAR limit for mobile devices set by FCC/IC is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over 1 gram of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/
kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities –
hands, wrists, ankles, and feet).
The highest reported SAR values of the Palm phone are:
Maximum scaled SAR values (W/kg) FCC
Head
0.919
Body
0.936
In order to comply with FCC and IC RF exposure safety
guidelines, users MUST use one of the following types of
body worn accessories:
1. A Palm
®
brand body-worn accessory that has been tested
for (specific absorption rate) SAR compliance and is
intended for use with this product.
2. An accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc.)
and provides AT LEAST 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) of separation
between the user’s body and the unit.
Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct
contact with the body (i.e. on the lap or in a breast pocket).
