RF Safety Information
The handset has an internal antenna located under the bottom of the keypad. For optimum
performance with minimum power consumption do not cover the antenna area with your hand.
Hold the handset between thumb and finger on the main hinge section. Covering the antenna
affects call quality, may cause the handset to operate at higher power level than needed, and may
shorten talk and idle times.
Radio Frequency Energy
Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it intermittently
transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is optimized for best
performance and automatically reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum power is
only used at the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power output is very
low.
The SAR limit recommended is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.The highest SAR
value for this model phone tested for use at the head is
