Exposure To Radio Waves - Motorola MOTO W388 Renew+ Getting Started Manual

• Motorola batteries and charging systems have circuitry that protects the battery
from damage from overcharging.
Specific Absorption Rate Data (IEEE)
SAR (IEEE)
This model wireless phone meets the government's requirements for

exposure to radio waves.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by the Canadian
regulatory authorities. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC and by the
1
Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although
the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone
is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the
power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and Canada, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit
established by each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions
and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) reported to the FCC and available for
review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for
use at the ear is 1.26 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide,
is 1.58 W/kg. The SAR value for this product in its data transmission mode (body-worn
use) is 0.7 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
2
available accessories and regulatory requirements).
