SAFETY AND WARRANTY
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guide-
lines 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 and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmit-
ting at 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 antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the govern-
ment adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in posi-
tions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
for use at the ear is 1.04 W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 0.581W/Kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at vari-
ous positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

SAR INFORMATION

SAR INFORMATION
The SAR testing for Body-worn operation was performed with a belt clip that
provided a 20mm separation. The User's Manual indicates that any holsters/
clips used with this device should contain no metallic components.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid
after searching on PP4L1.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on
the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by
the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.
The standard incorporates a sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
