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 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are
conducted 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. 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 on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.385W/Kg(Body-worn
measurements differ among 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 RFexposure 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: 2AZQ6-AN116 Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at

used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance
of 10mm must be maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the antenna.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters,
and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components.
Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure
requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
