SafetySafety and Warranty Information: Important Safety Information 111Body-Worn OperationTo maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your body, use theSprint supplied or approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use abody-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body whentransmitting. Use of non-Sprint-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov.Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless DevicesThe SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed into the head of a user of awireless handset.The SAR value of a device is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It doesnot represent how much RF the device emits. All device models are tested at their highest value in strictlaboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a device can be substantially less than the levelreported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base stationantenna, device design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each device meets strictfederal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.All devices must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As statedabove, variations in SAR values between different model devices do not mean variations in safety. SARvalues 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 Instinct (SPH-M800) are:Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):Head: 1.16 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.22 W/kgPCS mode (Part 24):Head: 1.46 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.01 W/kgFCC Radio Frequency EmissionThis device meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines.FCC ID number: A3LSPHM800.More information on the device’s SAR can be found from the following FCC Web site:http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.Nerva.book Page 111 Tuesday, June 24, 2008 3:18 PM
