Health and safety informationAppendix A: CERTIFICATIONINFORMATION (SAR)THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’SREQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.It is designed and manufactured not to exceed theemission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)energy set by the Federal CommunicationsCommission of the U.S. Government. These limits arepart of comprehensive guidelines and establishpermitted levels of RF energy for the generalpopulation. The guidelines are based on safetystandards that were developed by independentscientific organizations through periodic and thoroughevaluation of scientific studies. The standards includea substantial safety margin designed to assure thesafety of all persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phonesemploys a unit of measurement known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is1.6 W/kg. SAR Tests are conducted using standardoperating positions accepted by the FCC with thephone transmitting at its highest certified power levelin all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, theactual SAR level of the phone while operating can bewell below the maximum value. This is because thephone is designed to operate at multiple power levelsso as to use only the power required to reach thenetwork. In general, the closer you are to a wirelessbase station antenna, the lower the power output.Before a new model phone is available for sale to thepublic, it must be tested and certified to the FCC thatit does not exceed the limit established by thegovernment adopted requirement for safe exposure.The tests are performed in positions andlocations(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) asrequired by the FCC for each model.The highest SAR values of this model phone asreported to FCC are Head Max: 1.30 W/Kg, Body Max:0.706 W/Kg for Part 24 CDMA 1900 MHz(PCS Mode)and Head Max: 0.713 W/Kg, Body Max: 0.943 W/Kgfor Part 22 CDMA 800 MHz.85
