FCC RF Exposure Information
Your handset 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.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organization 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 handsets 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. 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 handset as reported to the FCC when
tested for use at the ear is 0.887 W/kg, and when worn on the body in a
holder or carry case, is 0.643 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the handset kept 1.5 cm from the body. To
maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories
that maintain a 1.5 cm separation distance between the user's body and
the back of the handset. The use of beltclips, holsters and similar accessories
should not contain metallic components in its assembly.
The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided. The
FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handset with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model handset is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on FCC ID UCE209025A.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on
the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website at

European RF Exposure Information
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.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.375 W/kg*. As
mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide**. In this case,
the highest tested SAR value is 0.472 W/kg. As SAR is measured utilizing
the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this device while
operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum
level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information
does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile
devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do
so by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free device to keep the
mobile phone away from the head and body.
*The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for
testing.
