US SAR Statement

THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED
IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES.
This mobile phone model T606 has been designed to
comply with applicable safety requirements for
exposure to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is designed to not exceed
the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
of the U.S. Government. These limits establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by international scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
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 1.6W/kg.*
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted 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 it does
not exceed the limit established by the government-
adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (i.e., at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value as reported to the FCC
