updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993,
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published
by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
This device was tested typical body-worn operations with the back of
the phone kept 2.0 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance with
hFCC RF exposure requirements,
use only belt-clips, holsters or similar
accessories that maintain a 2.0 cm.separation distance between the user's
body
and the back of the phone,including the antenna. The use of belt-clips,
holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in
its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy
absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring
and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone
emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory
settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially
less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors
including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other
factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a
substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values
between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for
use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the CDM220SP are:
AMPS mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.16 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.19 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.35 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.94 W/kg
