Your Smart Phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured

not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the

Federal Communications Commission of 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 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 mobile phones 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. * Tests for SAR are conducted 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. 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. The

highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.574W/Kg

and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.619W/Kg(Body-worn

measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and

FCC requirements). The maximum scaled SAR in hotspot mode is 0.779W/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. The FCC has granted an

Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in

compliance with the FCC RFexposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is

on ﬁle with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.

used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard

incorporates a sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and

to account for any variations in measurements.

SAR Information Statement

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure

requirements, a minimum separation distance

of 10mm must be maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the

antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters,

and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components.

Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF

exposure requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved

antenna.
