4A. Important Safety Information 137 Important Safety Informationconsisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines publishedby the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).Body-Worn OperationTo maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear ahandset on your body, use an approved carrying case, holster or otherbody-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure theantenna is at least 7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body whentransmitting. Use of non-approved accessories may violate FCC RFexposure guidelines.For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website atwww.fcc.gov.Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless PhonesThe SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbedinto the head of a user of a wireless handset.The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuringand calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phoneemits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratorysettings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantiallyless than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety offactors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design andother factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meetsstrict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation insafety.All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates asubstantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR valuesbetween different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SARvalues at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe foruse by the public.The highest reported SAR values of the PLS-m350 are:Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):Head: 0.68 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.15 W/kgPCS mode (Part 24):Head: 1.08 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.31 W/kgFCC Radio Frequency EmissionThis phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines.FCC ID number: A3LSPHM350.More information on the phone’s SAR can be found from the following FCCwebsite: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/.FCC NoticeThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
