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

NOTE:
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR
limit for mobile phones used by the public is
1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram
of tissue. The standard incorporates a sub-
stantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.
