User's Manual

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 0.487W/Kg
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.496W/Kg(Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). The maximum scaled SAR in hotspot mode is
0.496W/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: 2ABOSSKYPLATE5 Additional information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
