8 Important Health, Safety, and Warranty InformationThe RF exposure limit set by the FCC forwireless mobile phones employs a unitof measurement known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measureof the rate of absorption of RF energy by thehuman body expressed in units of watts perkilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wirelessphones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantialmargin of safety to give additional protectionto the public and to account for any variationsin measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standardoperating positions accepted by the FCC withthe phone transmitting at its highest certifiedpower level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the highestcertified power level, the actual SAR level ofthe phone while operating can be well belowthe maximum reported value. This is becausethe phone is designed to operate at multiplepower levels so as to use only the powerrequired to reach the network. In general,the closer you are to a wireless base stationantenna, the lower the power output ofthe device.Before a new model device is available for saleto the public, it must be tested and certifiedto the FCC that it does not exceed the SARlimit established by the FCC. Tests for eachmodel phone are performed in positions andlocations (e.g. at the ear and worn on thebody) as required by the FCC. For body-wornoperation, this device has been tested andmeets FCC RF exposure guidelines when usedwith an accessory that contains no metal andthat positions the mobile device a minimumof 1.5 cm from the body. Use of otheraccessories may not ensure compliance withFCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC hasgranted an Equipment Authorization for this
