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, always
use an appropriate accessory if using the phone for body worn
operations. Accessories used with this phone for body worn
operations must not contain any metallic components and must
provide at least 0.59 inches (1.5 centimeters) separation distance
between the user's body and the phone, including antennas. Body
worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.
This device is not intended to be used with a lanyard or strap on the
body. The device contains a mounting point that may be used to
attach the device to equipment, a backpack or tool belt, etc.

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
