Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with
updated NCRP standards described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined
in updating ANSI's 1982 standard for safety
levels with respect to human exposure to RF
signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and
physicians from universities, government health
agencies and industries developed this updated
standard after reviewing the available body of
research. In 1993, the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the
FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the
existing ANSI/IEEE standard and 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 Boost-supplied or Boost-approved
carrying case, holster or other body-worn
accessory. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory, ensure the antenna is at least
1.0 centimeters)
transmitting. Use of non-approved accessories
may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

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
