SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
ALL MODELS WITH FCC ID AZ489FT5844 MEET 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 the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (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 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 and 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 is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions specified by the FCC 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 antenna,
the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that is does not exceed the limit established by
the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value
for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.05 W/kg and
when tested on the body, as described in the user guide, is 1.15 W/kg
during packet data transmission. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels
or various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
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
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID AZ489FT5844.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA)
web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
* 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 substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
Electro Magnetic Interference/
Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible
to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed or
otherwise configured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
iv
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility
conflicts, turn off your radio product in any facility where
posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF
energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio product when on
board an aircraft. Any use of a radio product must be in
accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew
instructions.

Medical Devices

Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed)
recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be
maintained between a handheld wireless radio product and a
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with those of
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•
ALWAYS keep the radio product more than 6 inches
(15 cm) from their pacemaker when the radio product is
turned ON.
•
Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference.
•
Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any
reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless radio products may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to
consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist
you in obtaining this information.

Use While Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of radio products in
the area where you drive. Always obey them. When using the
radio product while driving, please:
•
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
•
Use hands-free operation, if available.
•
Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call
if driving conditions so require.
