EXPOSURE TO R ADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
Your wireless handheld complies with Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) guidelines respecting safety levels of RF exposure for handheld wireless
devices, which in turn are consistent with the following safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
• Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) C95.1 (1999)
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report
86 (1986)
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
(1996)

Important safety information
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE DATA
THIS MODEL WIRELESS HANDHELD MEETS GOVERNMENT
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless handheld is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government and Industry Canada of the Canadian Government (IC). 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. The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile handhelds employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by
the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC/IC with the handheld 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 SAR level of the
handheld while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the handheld 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.
Before a wireless handheld model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC/IC that it does not exceed the limit established by
the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC/IC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model handheld when
tested for use at the ear is 1.28 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 0.32 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among wireless
handheld and phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC/IC
requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
wireless devices and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handheld with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model handheld is on file with the FCC and
Installation and Getting Started Guide
Important safety information
can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID L6AR6020GW.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http://
www.wow-com.com.
___________________________________
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile handhelds used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue for the body or
head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists,
ankles and feet). The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Unauthorized antenna, modifications, or
attachments could damage the handheld and may violate FCC regulations.
AIRCRAFT
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)/FCC regulations prohibit using the radio
of your handheld while in the air. Switch the radio of your handheld OFF before
boarding an aircraft. The effect of the use of your handheld’s radio in an aircraft is
unknown. Such use may affect aircraft instrumentation, communication and
performance, may disrupt the network, may otherwise be dangerous to the
operation of the aircraft, and may be illegal. All other applications of your
handheld may be used in accordance with airline regulations for electronic devices.
