Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it's
turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)
signals. Your phone is designed to transmit just enough RF
power to reach the network. The system handling your call
controls the RF power level. Depending on network
conditions, your phone may operate at an actual SAR level
below the maximum value specified. Your phone is designed
not to exceed the recommended international guidelines for
limits on RF exposure.

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
32 Important Safety Information
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 0.39 inches
(1.0 centimeter) separation distance between the user's
body and the phone, including antennas. Body worn
