Healty and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless 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 (FCC) for the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines are based on the safety 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 and health.
The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of measurement known as Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.1
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC 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 new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified by
the FCC to insure 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 body) as required by the FCC for each model. While there may be differences
between SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement.
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 on the FCC website
(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid) after searching the FCC ID printed in the label on the phone.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.05 W/kg, and
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.67 W/kg.
1 In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
