FCC RF Exposure Information

WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters.Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.The design of

this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Bodily Contact During Operation

This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 0.59 inches (1.5 cm) from the body.To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.59 inches (1.5 cm) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retracted.

For Your Safety

Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used.Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.59 inches (1.5 cm) distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone and have not been tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure limits.

Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna

(Optional, if available.)

To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm) between the user / bystander and vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www. fcc.gov.

Caution

Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or modifications to the antenna) could impair call quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/ or violate FCC regulations.

Don’t use the phone with a damaged antenna.A damaged antenna could cause a minor skin burn. Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.

Consumer Information About Radio Frequency Emissions

Your wireless phone, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, emits radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer information addresses commonly asked questions about the health effects of wireless phones.

Are wireless phones safe?

Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones and radio frequency (“RF”)

For Your Safety

energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and procedures for wireless phones.The FDA issued a website publication on health issues related to cell phone usage where it states,“The scientific community at

large … believes that the weight of scientific evidence does not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from cell phones and adverse health

outcomes. Still the scientific community does recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge.That research is being conducted around the world and FDA continues to monitor developments

in this field.You can access the joint FDA/ FCC website at http://www.fda.gov (under “C” in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research).You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFOFDA. In June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and development agreement through which additional

scientific research is being conducted.The FCC issued its own website publication stating that “there is no scientific evidence that proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.”This publication is available at http:// www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.

What does “SAR” mean?

In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless phones in the United States. Before a wireless phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC. One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.” SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body.

For Your Safety

Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld wireless phones not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual SAR value of a wireless phone while operating can be less than the reported SAR value.This is because the SAR value may vary from call to call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the

phone to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices. 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 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 value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is X.XX W/kg and when worn on the body, as described

in\this\user\guide,\is\X.XX\W/kg\(body-worn\	phone\is\on\file\with\the\FCC\and\can\be\

For Your Safety

Can I minimize my RF exposure?

If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take to minimize your RF exposure.You can, of course, reduce your talk time.You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.The FDA/FCC website states that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience and comfort.These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which is the source of the RF

emissions, will not be placed against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more RF energy.Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit.” Also, if you use your wireless phone while in a car, you can use a phone with an antenna on the outside of the vehicle.You should

also read and follow your wireless phone manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of your phone.

Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?

The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.”The FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless phones at all”. For example, the

Stewart Report from the United Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this report a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK’s] recommendation to limit cell phone use by

children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists.A copy of the UK’s leaflet is available at http://www.dh.gov.uk (search “mobile”), or you can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom.

For Your Safety

Copies of the UK’s annual reports on mobile phones and RF are available online at www. iegmp.org.uk and http://www.hpa.org.uk/ radiation/ (search “mobile”). Parents who wish to reduce their children’s RF exposure may choose to restrict their children’s wireless phone use.
