Radio waves .....................................................
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public
authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US
Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram
of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
with the mobile phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands.
This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure
limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported 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 under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJN013.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the mobile phone while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output of the mobile phone. Before a mobile phone model is available
for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must
be shown.

4044V Maximum SAR for this model and
conditions under which it was recorded.
Head SAR 0.69 W/kg
Body-worn SAR 1.14 W/kg
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and
at various positions, they all meet the government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of
15 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least 15
mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to
the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or
holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation
of 15 mm between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal,
was not tested and certified, and use such body-worn accessory should be
avoided.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications
& Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://www.ctia.org/
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for
use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose
to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length
of calls, or using “hands-free” devices to keep mobile phones away from
the head and body. Additional WHO information about electromagnetic
fields and public health are available on the following website:
http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
