Health and safety information

SAR certification information
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) 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 the safety standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and through 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 phones employs a
unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg
The highest reported SAR values of the M300 are:
AMPS/CDMA mode (Part 22):
Head: 0.788 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.441 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.09 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.583 W/kg
SAR tests 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.
1. The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body
tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements. The SAR values may vary,
1
depending on national reporting requirements and the
network band.
