14 Important Safety Information
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it
receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. Your phone is
designed to transmit just enough RF power to reach the network. The
system handling your call controls the RF power level. Depending on
network conditions, your phone may operate at an actual Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) level below the maximum value specified. Your
phone is designed not to exceed the recommended international
guidelines for limits on RF exposure.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP standards
described below.
In 1991–92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating
ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to
RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from
universities, government health agencies and industries developed this
updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993,
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid
standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines
published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, always use an
appropriate accessory if using the phone for body worn operations.
Accessories used with this phone for body worn operations must not
contain any metallic components and must provide at least 0.39 inches
(1.0 centimeter) separation distance between the user’s body and the
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
