Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals (SA)

A cordless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limit for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the US
government and Canada. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and established
permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. These guidelines are based on the
safety standards previously set by both US
and international standard bodies. These
standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.

The exposure standards for cordless phones
employs a unit of measure known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC and Canada is 1.6W/kg
averaged over one gram of tissue.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with
the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands.

10

DT292

Important User Information

Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of
the phone while operating can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the phone
is designed to operate at multiple power levels.
Before a phone model is available for sale to
the public, it must be tested and certified to
the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (for
example, at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model.

While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.

For body worn operation, to maintain
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines,
use only approved accessories. When carrying
the telephone while it is on, use only the
specific belt clip that has been tested for
compliance.

Use of non-approved accessories may violate
the FCC RF exposure guidelines and should
be avoided.

This device has been shown to be capable of
compliance for localized specific absorption
rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/
general population exposure limits specified in
ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1992 and had been
tested in accordance with the measurement
procedures specified in FCC/OET Bulletin 65
Supplement C (2001) and IEEE Std. 1528­2003 December 2003).

Most modern electronic equipment (for
example, equipment in hospitals and cars) is
shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy
from cordless telephones may affect some
electronic equipment.

Chemical Resistance

The alpha and numeric characters printed on
the exterior of the cordless telephone have
been tested and found resistant to chipping,
fading or wearing off when the telephone is
treated with common cleaners and
disinfectants or perspiration. The following
chemicals have shown no harmful effect:

3% Hydrochloric Acid
M-alcohol (70% Methylated Ethanol)
60% Chlorhexidin 0.5mg/ml

Important: Read this information
before using your cordless telephone.

The cordless telephone is one of the most
innovative products ever developed. With it,
you can maintain connectivity to traditional
telephone services while remaining mobile
around the work environment. For the safe and
efficient operation of your telephone, observe
the guidelines in this manual. Your cordless
telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is on it receives and sends out radio
frequency (RF) energy. The telephone operates
in the frequency range of 1921.5 to 1928.5
MHz and employs commonly used modulation
techniques.

Note: Acetone can be damaging to the
plastic casing of the cordless
telephone and should not be used.
