This model wireless 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 limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by the
Canadian regulatory authorities. 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 or 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 and by the Canadian regulatory
authorities is 1.6 W/kg.

Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions accepted by the
FCC and by Industry Canada 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, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the
