FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
Read this information before using your phone
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its actionin
Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radiofrequency
(RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines areconsistent with
the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.The design of this
phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.Use only the supplied or an
approved antenna. Unanthorized antennas, modifications, orattachments could impair call quality,
damaged the phone, or result in violation of FCCregulations.Do not use the phone with a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact withthe skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact
your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device has been tested for body-worn operation and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines.Body-worn
operation is restricted to accessories that maintain a minimum of 1.5cm separation tothe body and do not
contain metallic components.Use of any other body-worn accessories may not compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website an
www.fcc.gov
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of auser for
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 phonemodels are tested at
their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, theSAR of a phone can be
substantially less that the level reported to the FCC. This is because of avariety of factors including its
proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors.What is important to remember is that
each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations inSAR’s do not represent a variation in safety. All
phones must meet the federal standard, whichincorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above,
variations in SAR values betweendifferent model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at
or below the federalstandard of 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue are considered safe for use by the
public. The highest reported SAR values of i230 are :
GSM mode-Head : 0.951W/kg Body-worn : 0.589W/kg (averaged over 1gram of tissue.)
PCS mode-Head : 1.120W/kg Body-worn : 0.389W/kg (averaged over 1gram of tissue.)
