Regulatory Information

The following topics provide important regulatory information.
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 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.
The highest reported SAR values of the ALCATEL ONETOUCH RETRO are:
Head: 1.075 W/kg (1g)
Body-worn: 1.473 W/kg (1g)
For body-worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when
used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5cm from
the user's body.

FCC Radio Frequency Emission
