States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards. BODY-WORN OPERATION This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm. from the body. To maintain compliance requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5 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. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov. SAR INFORMATION THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. 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 154 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. 01 The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of 02 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 03 at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the 04 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 05 phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power 06 required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. 07 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 0.893 W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.279 W/Kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). 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 SAR testing for Body-worn operation was performed with a belt clip that provided a 22mm separation. The User's Manual indicates that any holsters/clips used with this device should contain no metallic components. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with 155
