THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE G OVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RAD IO WAVES.
User Guide for the Kyocera Phantom phonev
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It i s designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government. These l imits are part of comprehensive gui delines
and establish permit ted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organiz ations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studi es. The standards incl ude a substanti al safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wir eless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the S pecific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using st andard
operating positions specifi ed by the FCC with the phone t ransmitting at its
highest certified power l evel in all tested fr equency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while operati ng can be well below the
maximum value.
vi
This is because the 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 st ati on antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model i s available for sale to the public, it must be test ed
and certified to the FCC 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 for each model. The highest SAR values
for these model phones are:
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone mode ls, depending upon
availability of accessories and FCC requirements. The body-worn SAR
values provided above were obtained by using Kyocera Wireless Corp.
[KWC] supplied and approved case CA90-G2603-01 and universal belt
clip 55-B1795-01).
User Guide for the Kyocera Phantom phonevii
While there may be diff erences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR level s evaluated as in compliance wi th the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the FCC ID:
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones
used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
