Safety Information - Sagem OT8X0 Series Manual

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 and Health Canada is 1.6 W/kg (*). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting 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
RF limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (i.e., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for these model phones as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear and when worn on the
body are (measured at a distance of 0.59 inches (1.5 cm)):
SAR at the ear (W/kg)
GSM 850
0.975
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the FCC
requirement. 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 FCC ID: M9HOT8X0,
IC:2599NOT8X0. Additional Information can be found on the website of the World Health Organization

Safety Information

Aircraft: Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff. If your device offers
a "flight mode" or similar feature, consult airline staff as to its use in flight.
Driving: Full attention should be given to driving at all times, and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while
driving must be observed. For further driving safety tips, please refer to Driving safety tips at page 54.
Hospitals: Mobile phones should be switched off whenever you are requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care
facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical instruments.
(*) In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection
for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
