phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). While there may be differences between the 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 exposure 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 TYKNX9200.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) web-site 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.

What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term "wireless phone" refers here to hand-held wireless phones
with built-in antennas, often called "cell," "mobile," or "PCS" phones.
These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable
radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the
phone and the user's head. These RF exposures are limited by
Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were
developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety
agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the
user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF
exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source.
The so-called "cordless phones," which have a base unit connected to
the telephone wiring in a house, typically operate at far lower power
levels, and thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC's
compliance limits.
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no
proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless
phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave
range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in
the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health
effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects.
Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects
