Health and safety 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 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 safety standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough 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 mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate(SAR). The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. SAR Tests are conducted
using standard operating positions accepted by the
FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest
100
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 new model phone 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 governmentadopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are Head: 0.475 W/Kg, Body-
