EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS (SAR)
The wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufac-
tured not to exceed the emission limit for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission of the US government and Canada.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and established permitted levels of
RF energy for the general population. These guidelines are based on the safety stand-
ards previously set by both US and international standard bodies. These standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standards for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measure known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC and Canada is
1.6W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue.
Tests for SAR 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. Before a phone
model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit established by government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for the OfficeT telephone when tested for use is 0.081 W/kg,
and for OfficeM 0.067 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for
safe exposure.
For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines,
use only Ascom approved accessories. When carrying the phone while it is on, use
only the specific Ascom belt clip that has been tested for compliance. Use of non-
Ascom-approved accessories may violate the FCC RF exposure guidelines and should
be avoided.
The FCC has granted an equipment authorization for the Ascom OfficeT and OfficeM
phones with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emis-
sions guidelines.
RFExposure:
The internal/external antennas used for BS330 must provide a separation distance of
at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
This device has been shown to be capable of compliance for localized specific absorp-
tion rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/general population exposure limits spec-
ified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement procedures specified in FCC/OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C (2001) and
IEEE Std. 1528-2003 December 2003).
