THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The G8231
Series mobile phones have been designed to comply with the
applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless
phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to not exceed the
limits of exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by governmental
authorities. These limits establish permitted levels of RF energy exposure
for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by international scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation in scientific studies. The standards include a
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all individuals, regardless of
age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted
using standardised methods with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all used frequency bands. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various phone models, they are all
designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for this phone
model when tested for use by the ear is 0.81 W/kg and when worn on the
body is 0.35 W/kg and for WiFi hotspot mode is 0.80 W/kg. For body-worn
operation, the phone has been tested when positioned a minimum of 15
mm from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or
when properly used with an appropriate accessory and worn on the body.
For devices which include “WiFi hotspot” functionality, SAR measurements
for the device operating in WiFi hotspot mode were taken using a
separation distance of 10 mm. Use of third-party accessories may result in
different SAR levels than those reported.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the US, it
must be tested and certified by the Federal Communications Commission
(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 (i.e., by the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment
