Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the phone kept
0.40 inches (1.0 cm) from the body.
To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 0.40 inches (1.0 cm) must be
maintained between the user's body and the
back of the phone, including the antenna,
whether extended or retracted. All belt-clips,
holsters and similar accessories used by this
device must not contain any metallic
components. Body-worn accessories that do
not meet these requirements may not comply
with FCC RF exposure limits and should be
avoided.
Note: For more information about RF
exposure, please visit the FCC website at

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for
Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the
relative amount of RF energy absorbed in
the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an
extensive 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 laboratory
settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a
phone can be substantially less that the level
reported to the FCC. This is because of a
variety of factors including its proximity 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.
