FCC Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the United States FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information:
Spectralink 84-Series Wireless Telephones
Your wireless handset is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is on, it receives and sends out
802.11a/b/g/n radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless handsets. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
•
ANSI C95.1 (1992) American National Standards Institute
•
NCRP - Report 86 (1986) National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
•
ICNIRP (1996) International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
•
DHWC - Safety Code 6 Department of Health and Welfare Canada
These standards 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 handsets employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
Note: SAR limits
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile handsets used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
The FCC conducts tests for SAR using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the handset
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 handset while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the handset is designed to operate at multiple power levels so that it uses only the power
required to reach the network. Before a handset model is available for sale to the public, the FCC must test and
certify it to ensure that handsets do not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (at the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various handsets and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handset with all reported SAR levels evaluated in
compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
