Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that 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 or health. The
exposure standard for wireless fixed phoned employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limits set by the FCC are 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting as 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 phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station, the lower the output power. The Highest SAR Values for this model phone when tested
for use on the Right cheek were 0.266 mW/g.
This device complies with part 15 of the 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.
