Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. Your phone 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 exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC 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 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 U.S. government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The
tests are performed on position and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested
for use at the ear is
1.22
W/kg, and when worn on the body, is 0.80 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may
b
e differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the U.S.
government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is
on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section at https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/
eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm after search on FCC ID A98-HRG0037.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when
used with an accessory designated for this product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal
and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF Exposure guidelines.
* In the United Sta
t
es, the SAR limit for wireless mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. SAR values may vary depending upon national reporting
r
equirements and the network band.
