The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for 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. (fact
sheet n°193). Additional WHO information about electromagnetic
fields and public health are available on the following website:

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for
help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a
licensed radio service (e.g. FM broadcast), they bear the following
statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. The operation
is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful
interference.
For other devices, they bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. 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. These guidelines include a substantial safety
margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal
Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by
Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
with the mobile 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 mobile phone while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the mobile
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 of the mobile phone. Before a mobile phone
model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national
regulations and standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested
is 0.76 W/kg for use at the ear and 1.08 W/kg for use close to
the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various mobile phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn
operation, the mobile phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines
provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the
handset at least 10 mm from the body. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site:
