SAR Information
THIS MOBILE DEVICE MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Your mobile device is a
radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of
age and health. The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2 W/kg averaged over 10
grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device
can be below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the power
required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how close you
are to a network base station. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the
ear is 1.16 W/kg. Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values. SAR
values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band. Additional
SAR information can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at
www.wow-com.com.
FCC Notice
Your device may cause TV or radio interference (for example, when using a telephone in close proximity to
receiving equipment). This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment.
