TECHNICAL INFORMATION
1. Specific Absorption Rate Data
The 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. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines area 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 fixed phone employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limits set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for
SAR area conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
phone transmitting as 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 public in the U.S. and Canada, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by each
government for safe exposure. The tests area performed in positions and location (e.g., at
the ear and worn on the body) reported to the FCC. The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.551W/kg(GSM850 Band) and
1.000W/kg(PCS1900 Band), and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.348W/kg(GSM850 Band) and 0.847W/kg(PCS1900 Band).
