Body-Worn Operation; Wireless Phones - Kyocera Rise Basic Manual

the guidelines published by the National Council of
Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use
a Virgin Mobile-supplied or Virgin Mobile-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-Virgin Mobile-approved
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines. Other accessories used with this device
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 Rise are:
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.35 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.04 W/kg
