LG VX8600 User Manual page 112

Safety
by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR 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 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. Because the phone is
designed to operate at multiple power levels 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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when
tested for use at the ear is 0.769 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this user guide,
is 0.780 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ
110
VX8600
among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements). While there
may be differences between SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID BEJVX8600. Additional
information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The
standard incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection for the public
and to account for any variations in measurements.
