HTC Snap User Manual page 97

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used
with the HTC Corporation accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Your wireless mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (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 guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set
by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-199.
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.
•
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. 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 phone 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*.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as
in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.
cfm after searching on FCC ID: NM8CEDA100. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website as http://www.phonefacts.net.
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phone used by the public is 1.6 Watts/kg (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 usage.
Normal condition only to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile
radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the
safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 1.5 cm must be maintained between the user's body and the handset, including the
antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any
metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF
exposure requirements and should be avoided.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of regulations. Do not use the phone with a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please
contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) safety information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches be
maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations
of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
•
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any
•
reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
