FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
Warning! Read this information before using your phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted
an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by
both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone
complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones
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 1.6 W/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 highest
SAR value for this model handset when tested for use at the ear is
0.335 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide,
is 0.779 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back
of the phone kept 0.59 inches (1.5 cm) from the body. To comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of
0.59 inches (1.5 cm) must be maintained between the user’s body and
the back of the phone, including the antenna. All beltclips, holsters and
similar accessories used by this device must not contain any metallic
components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements
may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.
Turn off your phone before flying
You should turn off your phone when boarding any aircraft. To prevent
possible interference with aircraft systems, U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations require you to have permission from
a crew member to use your phone while the plane is on the ground.
To prevent any risk of interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your
phone while the plane is in the air.
European RF Exposure Information
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended
by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the
independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg
and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was
0.302 W/kg*.
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting power the
actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated
above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device
to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for
the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your
exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a
‘hands-free’ device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and
body. Additional Information can be found on the websites of the World
Health Organization

* The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines
for testing.
