Health and safety information116SAR tests are conducted using standard operatingpositions specified by the FCC with the phonetransmitting at its highest certified power level inall tested frequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level,the actual SAR level of the phone while operatingcan be well below the maximum value. This isbecause the phone is designed to operate atmultiple power levels so as to use only the powerrequired to reach the network. In general, thecloser you are to a wireless base station antenna,the lower the power output of the phone.Before a new model phone is available for sale tothe public, it must be tested and certified to theFCC that it does not exceed the limit establishedby the government-adopted requirement for safeexposure. The tests are performed in positionsand locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on thebody) as required by the FCC for each model.While there may be differences between the SARlevels of various phones and at various positions,they all meet the government requirement.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorizationfor this model phone with all reported SAR levelsevaluated as in compliance with the FCC RFexposure guidelines. SAR information on thismodel phone is on file with the FCC and can befound under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC IDprinted in the label on the phone.FCC certification information for this model phoneis attached separation paper.Health and safety information117For body operationTo maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure require-ments, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessoriesthat maintain a 1.5 cm. separation distance betweenthe user's body and the back of the phone, includingthe antenna, whether extended or retracted. The useof belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories shouldnot contain metallic components in its assembly. Theuse of accessories that do not satisfy these requirementsmay not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, andshould be avoided.None compliance with the above conditions mayviolate FCC RF exposure guidelines.For more Information concerning exposure toradio frequency signals, see the followingwebsites:Federal Communications Commission (FCC)http://www.fcc.gov/rfsafetyCellular Telecommunications Industry Association(CTIA): http://www.wow-com.comU.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA)http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/consumerWorld Health Organization (WHO)http://www.who.int/peh-emf/enPrecautions when using batteries• Never use any charger or battery that isdamaged in any way.• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
