THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE FCC'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the United States Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). 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 and Health Canada is 1.6 W/kg (*).
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted 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 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.
(*) In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
