To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on
your body, use a Sprint-supplied or Sprint-approved carrying case, holster or other
body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna
is at least 25/32 inch (2 centimeters) from your body when transmitting. Use of
non-Sprint-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. For more
information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the
head of a user of a wireless handset. The SAR value of a phone is the result of an ex-
tensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much
RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict labora-
tory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than
the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its prox-
imity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to
remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do
not represent a variation in safety. All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values
between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or
below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.
