Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use a
Cricket-supplied or Cricket-approved carrying case,
holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not
use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antennas are
at least 0.591 inches (1.5 centimeters) from your
body when transmitting. Use of non-Cricket-approved
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Other accessories used with this phone for body-
worn operations must not contain any metallic
components and must provide at least
0.591 inches (1.5 centimeters) separation distance
between the antennas and the user's body.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the
FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for
Wireless Phones
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of
RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of 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 phone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when
in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially
less than the level reported to the FCC. This is
because of a variety 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 in
SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated
above, variations in SAR values between different
model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg
are considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the Hydro are:
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):
Head: 0.71 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.59 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.17 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.58 W/kg
AWS mode (Part 27):
Head: 1.33 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.47 W/kg
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission
Guidelines.
FCC ID number: V65C5171.
