measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR is a measure of
the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per
kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin
of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. 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 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. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the
power required to reach the network, generally, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output. 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 the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. 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. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations
with the back of the phone kept 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) between the user’s body and the
back of the phone. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) must be maintained between the user's body
and the back of the phone. Third-party belt clips, holsters, and similar accessories
containing metallic components should not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot
maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) separation distance between the user's body and the back
of the phone, and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not
comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided. The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as
in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. The highest SAR value for this model
