Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset
on your body, use the Sprint-supplied or -approved carrying case, holster, or other
body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the
antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when
transmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved accessories may violate FCC RF
exposure guidelines.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed
in 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.
