Health and Safty InformationExposure to Radio Frequency (RF) SignalsYour wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure toradio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines andestablish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. Theguidelines are based on the safety standards that were developed by independentscientific organizations through periodic and through evaluation of scientificstudies.The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of allpersons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of measurement known asSpecific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg *.*In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to giveadditional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC withthe phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SARlevel of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This isbecause the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use onlythe power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to awireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of the phone.Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested andcertified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by thegovernment-adopted requirement for safe exposure.The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on thebody) as required by the FCC for each model. While there may be differencesbetween the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet thegovernment requirement.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with allreported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found underthe 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 phone isattached separation paper.20
