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 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 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 government
adopted 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
value for this model phone when tested for use at the head is 0.411W/Kg and when worn on
the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.903W/Kg (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). The
maximum scaled SAR in hotspot mode is 0.903W/Kg. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure. 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 of http://www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: YSEGO778 Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at
http://www.wow-com.com. * In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones
used by the public is 1.6watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 10mm must be maintained between the user’s
body and the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn
accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure
requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
