TIA Safety Information

The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld phones.

Consumer Information on SAR

(Specific Absorption Rate)

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 1.6 W/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 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. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels 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 governmentadopted 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 values are:

* Head: 0.36 W/kg

* Body: 0.42 W/kg
