eral, 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 cer-
tified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the govern-
ment-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. (Body-worn measurements may differ among phone mod-
els, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). 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 CMCS approved accessories. When carrying the phone
while it is on, use the specific CMCS-supplied or approved carrying case, holster,
or other body-worn accessory.
Use of non-CMCS-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guide-
lines and should be avoided.
Health and Safety Information
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) SIGNALS
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manu-
factured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Govern-
ment. 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 previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
* American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
* National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report
86. 1986
* International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
1996
* Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substan-
tial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measure-
ment known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the
FCC is 1.6W/kg *.
* 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 mar-
gin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations
in.
