Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it's turned on, it receives and
transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your
call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watt to 0.2 watt in digital mode.
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 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
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 0.39
inches (1cm) between the user's body and the back of the phone. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1cm) must be
maintained between the user's body and the back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters,
and similar accessories containing metallic components may not be used. Body-worn
accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1cm) separation distance between the user's
body and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical bodyworn operations may
not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)
This model 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 the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These FCC exposure limits are
derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Counsel on
Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and
engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of
the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy. The exposure limit for
wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body
