Section 4A: Important Safety Information 169Important Safety InformationSpecific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless PhonesThe SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energyabsorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring,and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phoneemits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strictlaboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can besubstantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of avariety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phonedesign and other factors. What is important to remember is that eachphone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent avariation in safety.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 A580 are:CDMA mode (Part 22):Head: 0.671 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.11 W/kgPCS mode (Part 24):Head: 1.33 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.647 W/kgFCC Radiofrequency EmissionThis phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.FCC ID number: A3LSPHA580.More information on the phone's SAR can be found from the following FCCWeb site: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.Owner’s RecordThe model number, regulatory number and serial number are located on anameplate inside the battery compartment.
