Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
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 a 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
centimeters) separation distance between the user’s body
