levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by
the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
(Bodyworn measurements may differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories
and FCC requirements). For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, use only original manufacturer approved accessories.
