Your wireless 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 0.982W/Kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.151W/Kg(Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). The maximum scaled SAR in hotspot mode is
1.151W/Kg, and the Max simultaneous SAR value is 1.56 W/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.gov/ oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: SW9-POWERII Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. * In the United States 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.
