• RADIO WAVES:
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your cellphone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. 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.These guidelines include a substantial
safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for cellphones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal
Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), the Australian Communications
Authority (ACA) or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue.Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions 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 of the
phone.Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations
and standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.11 W/Kg for OT-
E157a, 0.96 W/Kg for O T -E158a, 1.42
W/Kg for OT-E159a, 0.97 W/Kg for OT-E252a, 1.4W/Kg ,
OT-E256a and for use close to body is 0.64 W/Kg for OT-E157a, 1.23 W/Kg for OT-E158a,
0.61 W/Kg for OT-E159a,1.07 W/Kg for OT-E252a, 0.57 W/Kg for OT-E256a. While there may
be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they meet the govern-
ment requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, phone meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with handset at least1,5 cm from
the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for use of cellphones. If individuals are concerned,they
might choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or
using "hands-free" devices to keep cellphones away from the head and body (fact sheet n°193).
Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the
following website:http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid
touching it or degrading it.
