Safety
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete
TIA Safety Information for
wireless handheld phones.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an
approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments
could damage the phone and
may violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
NORMAL POSITION: Hold the
phone as you would any other
telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your
shoulder.
Tips on Efficient Operation
For your phone to operate
most efficiently:
Don’t touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the phone is
in use. Contact with the antenna
affects call quality and may cause
the phone to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise
needed.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations
on the use of wireless phones in
the areas where you drive and
always obey them. Also, if using
your phone while driving, please
observe the following:
●
Give full attention to driving -driving safely is your first
responsibility;
●
Use hands-free operation, if
available;
●
Pull off the road and park
before making or answering a
call if driving conditions or the
law require it.
Safety
15
Safety
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic
equipment is shielded from RF
signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be
shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry
Manufacturers Association
recommends that a minimum
separation of six (6) inches be
maintained between a handheld
Safety
wireless phone and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent
with the independent research
by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
●
Should ALWAYS keep the
phone more than six (6)
16
inches from their pacemaker
when the phone is turned ON;
●
Should not carry the phone in
a breast pocket;
●
Should use the ear opposite
the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for
interference;
●
Should turn the phone OFF
immediately if there is any
reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference,
you may want to consult your
service provider (or call the
customer service line to discuss
alternatives).
Consumer Information
on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the
Government’s Requirements for
Exposure to Radio Waves.
wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radiofrequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These FCC exposure limits are
derived from the
recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National
Counsel on Radiation Protection
and Measurement (NCRP) and
the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In
both cases, the
recommendations were
developed by scientific and
Your
engineering experts drawn from
industry, government, and
academia after extensive reviews
of the scientific literature related
to the biological effects of RF
energy.
The exposure Limit for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR is a measure of the rate
of absorption of RF energy by
the human body expressed in
units of watts per kilogram
(W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per
kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC
exposure limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection to the
public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC
Safety
17
Safety
with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands.
Although SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level,
the actual SAR level of the phone
while operating can be well below
the maximum value. Because the
phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels 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.
Safety
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 governmentadopted 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.
18
This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the
back of the phone kept 0.79
inches (2.0 cm) between the
user’s body and the back of the
phone. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of
0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must be
maintained between the user s
body and the back of the phone.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters,
and similar accessories
containing metallic components
should not be used. Body-worn
accessories that cannot maintain
0.79 inches (2.0 cm) separation
distance between the user's
body and the back of the phone,
and have not been tested for
typical body-worn operations
may not comply with FCC RF
exposure limits and should be
avoided.
The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines.
The highest SAR value for this
model phone when tested for
use at the ear is 0.92 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as
described in this user’s manual, is
0.51 W/kg. While there may be
differences between SAR levels of
various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe
exposure.
SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the
Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/
after searching for the FCC ID.
To find information that pertains
to a particular model phone, this
site uses the phone FCC ID
number which is usually printed
somewhere on the case of the
phone. Sometimes it may be
necessary to remove the battery
pack to find the number. Once
you have the FCC ID number for
a particular phone, follow the
instructions on the website and
it should provide values for
typical or maximum SAR for a
particular phone.
Additional information on
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org/
*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.
