132 13301020304050607•SAFETYthrough periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standardsinclude 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 ofmeasurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit setby the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmittingat its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although theSAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of thephone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because thephone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the powerrequired to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless basestation antenna, the lower the power output.Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be testedand certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by thegovernment adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed inpositions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by theFCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested foruse at the ear is 1.25 W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this userguide, is 0.610 W/Kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there maybe 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 thatprovided a 2 cm separation. The User’s Manual indicates that any holsters/clipsused with this device should contain no metallic components.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone withall reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposureguidelines.SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be foundunder the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searchingon JYCJ-TOUCH.Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on theCellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site athttp://www.wow-com.com.* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by thepublic is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standardincorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for thepublic and to account for any variations in measurements.HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY (HAC) FOR WIRELESSTELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICESPCD’S COMMITMENTPCD believes that all of our customers should be able to enjoy the benefits ofdigital wireless technologies.We are committed to providing a selection of compatible devices for ourcustomers who wear hearing aids.THIS PHONE HAS A HAC RATING OF M4WHAT IS HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY?The Federal Communications Commission has implemented rules and a ratingsystem designed to enable people who wear hearing aids to more effectivelyuse these wireless telecommunications devices.
