Exposure to Radio Waves
THIS MODEL 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 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 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, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the
FCC is 1.6W/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 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.
122 Safety Precautions and Conditions of Use
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 0.697 W/kg and when worn on the
body, as described in this user guide, is 0.612 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for
typical body-worn operations with the back of the
phone kept 1.5 cm from the body. To maintain
compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use
accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm separation distance
between the user's body and the back of the phone. The
use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should
not contain metallic components in its assembly.
The use of accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, and should be avoided. 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 emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on
