14. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
14.1. Specific Absorption Rate Data
This wireless 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 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 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 or health.
The exposure standard for wireless fixed phoned employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limits set by the FCC are
1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted
by the FCC with the phone transmitting as 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, the lower the output power.
This phone was tested and certified that it does not exceed the limit established by
each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (worn on the body) reported to the FCC. The highest SAR values for this
model phone when tested for use on the body were 1.42 W/kg (GSM band 1900)
