FCC RF exposure information
Your Toshiba phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It 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.
The guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific organisations
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 handsets
employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. 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 SAR value for the Portégé G910 and Portégé
G920 handsets when tested for use at the ear is
0.575W/kg respectively, and when worn on the
body, as described in this user guide, is 0.655W/kg
respectively.
Body-worn operation
This phone was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the phone kept at a
distance of 1.5cm from the body. To maintain
compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements,
use accessories that maintain a 1.5cm separation
distance between your body and the back of the
phone. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar
accessories should not contain metallic
components. The use of accessories that do not
satisfy these requirements may not comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be
avoided.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this model handset with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information on the
Portégé G910 and Portégé G920 handsets 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 SP2-CH5-E01/SP2-CH5-E02.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
website at http://www.phonefacts.net.
