RF Safety Exposure
General statement on RF energy: Your smartphone contains a
transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits
RF energy. When you communicate with your smartphone, the
system handling your call controls the power level at which your
smartphone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR): Your mobile device is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines.
These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure
the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
In order to certify this unit for sale to the public, this unit has been
tested for RF exposure compliance at a qualified test laboratory and
found to comply with the regulations regarding exposure to RF
Energy under the recommendations of the International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are
performed in positions and locations as required by the FCC and IC
for each model.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting power,
the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that
indicated below. This is due to automatic changes to the power level
of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to
communicate with the network.
The SAR limit for mobile devices set by FCC/IC is 1.6 W/kg averaged
over 1 gram of tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over
10 grams of tissue for the extremities—hands, wrists, ankles, and
feet).
The highest reported SAR values of the Palm smartphone are:
In order to comply with FCC and IC RF exposure safety guidelines,
users MUST use one of the following types of body worn
accessories:
1 A Palm
®
brand body-worn accessory that has been tested for
(specific absorption rate) SAR compliance and is intended for use
with this product.
2 An accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc.) and
provides AT LEAST 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) of separation between the
user’s body and the unit.
Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct contact
with the body (i. e. on the lap or in a breast pocket). Such use will
likely exceed the FCC RF safety exposure limits. See www.fcc.gov/
oet/rfsafety for more information on RF exposure safety.

Body worn operation: Important safety information regarding radio
frequency radiation (RF) exposure: To ensure compliance with RF
exposure guidelines the smartphone must be used with a minimum
of 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) separation from the body. Failure to observe these
instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant
guideline limits.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields: For individuals
concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World
Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile
phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their
own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or
using ‘hands-free’ devices to keep mobile phones away from the
head and body.
