Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for
typical bodyworn operations
with the back of the phone kept
2cm (0.79 inches) between the
user’s body and the back of
the phone. To comply with FCC
RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance
of 2cm (0.79 inches) must
be maintained between the
user s body and the back
of the phone. Third-party
beltclips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic
components should not be
used.

Body-worn accessories that
cannot maintain 2cm (0.79
inches) 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.

Vehicle Mounted
External
Antenna (optional, if
available)

A minimum separation distance
of 20cm (8 inches) must
be maintained between the
user/bystander and the vehicle
mounted external antenna
to satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements. For more
information about RF exposure,
visit the FCC website at www.
fcc.gov

Excessive sound
pressure from earphones can
cause hearing loss.

Safety Guidelines

TIA Safety Information

Provided herein is the complete
TIA Safety Information for
Wireless Handheld phones.
Inclusion of the text covering
Pacemakers, Hearing Aids,
and Other Medical Devices is
required in the owner’s manual
for CTIA Certification. Use of
the remaining TIA language is
encouraged when appropriate.

Exposure to Radio
Frequency Signal

Your wireless handheld portable
telephone is a lowpower radio
transmitter and receiver. When
it is ON, it receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF)
signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal
Communications Commissions
(FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for
handheld wireless phones.

Those guidelines are consistent
with the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based

on comprehensive and
periodic evaluations of the
relevant scientific literature. For
example, over 120 scientists,
engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health
agencies, and industry reviewed
the available body of research
to develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).

* American National Standards
Institute; National Council
on Radiation Protection and
Measurements; International
Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection

The design of your phone
complies with the FCC

33

Safety Guidelines

guidelines (and those
standards).

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:

• Do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the
phone is in use. Contact
with the antenna affects call

34

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.
Always obey them. Also, if
using your phone while driving,
please:

• 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 so
require.

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 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 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.

• If you have any reason to

suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your phone
OFF immediately.

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.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to
determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF
energy.

35

Safety Guidelines

Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this
information.

Health Care Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in
health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these
areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities
may use equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF
energy.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect
improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles.

Check with the manufacturer
or its representative regarding
your vehicle.

You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment
that has been added to your
vehicle.

36

Posted Facilities

Turn your phone OFF in any
facility where posted notices so
require.

Aircraft

FCC regulations prohibit using
your phone while in the air.
Turn your phone OFF before
boarding an aircraft.

Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn your phone OFF
when in a ‘blasting areas or
in areas posted: ‘Turn off two­way radio’. Obey all signs and
instructions.

Potentially Explosive
Atmosphere

Turn your phone OFF when
in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and
obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could

cause an explosion or fire
resulting in body injury or even
death.

Areas with a potentially
explosive atmosphere are often,
but not always, marked clearly.

Potential areas may include:
fueling areas (such as gasoline
stations); below deck on boats;
fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities; vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane);
areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles (such as
grain, dust, or metal powders);
and any other area where you
would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped
with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates with great
force. DO NOT place objects,
including either installed or
portable wireless equipment, in

the area over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. If
in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the
air bag inflates, serious injury
could result.

Safety Information

Please read and observe the
following information for safe
and proper use of your phone
and to prevent damage. Also,
keep the user guide in an
accessible place at all the times
after reading it.

Safety

• The charger and adapter are

intended for indoor use only.

Battery Information and
Care

• Please dispose of your battery
properly or take it to your local
wireless carrier for recycling.

37

Safety Guidelines

• The battery does not need
to be fully discharged before
recharging.

• Use only LG-approved
chargers specific to your
phone model since they are
designed to maximize battery
life.

• Do not disassemble or impact
the battery as it may cause
electric shock, short-circuit,
and fire. Store the battery in a
place out of reach of children.

• The self-protection function

of the battery cuts the
power of the phone when its
operation is in an abnormal
state. In this case, remove
the battery from the phone,
reinstall it, and turn the
phone on.

• Actual battery life will depend
on network configuration,
product settings, usage
patterns, battery and
environmental conditions.

Explosion, Shock, and
Fire Hazards

• Do not put your phone in a
place subject to excessive
dust and keep the minimum
required distance between
the power cord and heat
sources.

• Unplug the power cord prior
to cleaning your phone, and
clean the power plug pin
when it is dirty.

• When using the power
plug, ensure that it is firmly
connected. If it is not, it may
cause excessive heat or fire.

• If you put your phone in
a pocket or bag without
covering the receptacle of
the phone (power plug pin),
metallic articles (such as a
coin, paperclip or pen) may
short-circuit the phone.
Always cover the receptacle
when not in use.

• Do not short-circuit the
battery. Metallic articles such
as a coin, paperclip or pen in
your pocket or bag may short­circuit the + and – terminals
of the battery (metal strips
on the battery) upon moving.
Short-circuit of the terminal
may damage the battery and
cause an explosion.

General Notice

• Using a damaged battery
or placing a battery in your
mouth may cause serious
injury.

• Do not place items containing
magnetic components such
as a credit card, phone
card, bank book or subway
ticket near your phone. The
magnetism of the phone may
damage the data stored in
the magnetic strip.

• Talking on your phone for

a long period of time may
reduce call quality due to heat
generated during use.

• When the phone is not used

for a long period time, store it
in a safe place with the power
cord unplugged.

• Using the phone in proximity
to receiving equipment (i.e.,
TV or radio) may cause
interference to the phone.

39

Safety Guidelines

FDA Consumer Update

The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration Centre for
Devices and Radiological Health
Consumer Update on Mobile
Phones.

1. Do wireless phones pose a

health hazard?

The available scientific evidence
does not show that any health
problems are associated with
using wireless phones. There is
no proof, however, that wireless
phones are absolutely safe.

Wireless phones emit low levels
of radio frequency energy (RF)
in the microwave range while
being used. They also emit

very low levels of RF when in
the standby mode. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure to low level
RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no
known adverse health effects.
Many studies of low level RF
exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies
have suggested that some
biological effects may occur,
but such findings have not
been confirmed by additional
research. In some cases, other
researchers have had difficulty
in reproducing those studies, or
in determining the reasons for
inconsistent results.

2. What is the FDA’s role
concerning the safety of
wireless phones?

Under the law, the FDA does
not review the safety of
radiation emitting consumer
products such as wireless

phones before they can be sold,
as it does with new drugs or
medical devices.
However, the agency has
authority to take action if
wireless phones are shown to
emit radio frequency energy
(RF) at a level that is hazardous
to the user. In such a case,
the FDA could require the
manufacturers of wireless
phones to notify users of the
health hazard and to repair,
replace, or recall the phones so
that the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific
data do not justify FDA
regulatory actions, the FDA
has urged the wireless phone
industry to take a number of
steps, including the following:

• Support needed research into
possible biological effects
of RF of the type emitted by
wireless phones;

• Design wireless phones in a
way that minimizes any RF

41

Safety Guidelines

exposure to the user that
is not necessary for device
function; and

• Cooperate in providing of
wireless phones with the
best possible information on
possible effects of wireless
phone use on human health.

The FDA belongs to an
interagency working group
of the federal agencies that
have responsibility for different
aspects of RF safety to ensure
coordinated efforts at the
federal level. The following
agencies belong to this working
group:

• National Institute for
Occupational Safety and
Health

• Environmental Protection
Agency

• Occupational Safety and
Health Administration
(Administración de la
seguridad y salud laborales)

42

• Occupational Safety and
Health Administration

• National Telecommunications
and Information
Administration

The National Institutes of
Health participates in some
interagency working group
activities, as well.

The FDA shares regulatory
responsibilities for wireless
phones with the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC). All phones that are
sold in the United States
must comply with FCC safety
guidelines that limit RF
exposure. The FCC relies on the
FDA and other health agencies
for safety questions about
wireless phones.

The FCC also regulates the
base stations that the wireless
phone networks rely upon.
While these base stations
operate at higher power
than do the wireless phones

themselves, the RF exposures
that people get from these base
stations are typically thousands
of times lower than those they
can get from wireless phones.

Base stations are thus not the
subject of the safety questions
discussed in this document.

3. What kinds of phones are
the subject of this update?

The term ‘wireless phone’
refers here to handheld
wireless phones with built-in
antennas, often called ‘cell’,
‘mobile’, or ‘PCS’ phones.
These types of wireless
phones can expose the user
to measurable radiofrequency
energy (RF) because of the
short distance between the
phone and the user’s head.
These RF exposures are limited
by FCC safety guidelines that
were developed with the advice
of the FDA and other federal
health and safety agencies.
When the phone is located at

greater distances from the user,
the exposure to RF is drastically
lower because a person’s RF
exposure decreases rapidly
with increasing distance from
the source. The so-called
‘cordless phones,’ which have
a base unit connected to the
telephone wiring in a house,
typically operate at far lower
power levels, and thus produce
RF exposures far below the FCC
safety limits.

4. What are the results of the
research done already?

The research done thus far has
produced conflicting results,
and many studies have suffered
from flaws in their research
methods. Animal experiments
investigating the effects of
radiofrequency energy (RF)
exposures characteristic of
wireless phones have yielded
conflicting results that often
cannot be repeated in other
laboratories. A few animal

43

Safety Guidelines

studies, however, have
suggested that low levels
of RF could accelerate the
development of cancer in
laboratory animals. However,
many of the studies that
showed increased tumor
development used animals
that had been genetically
engineered or treated with
cancer causing chemicals
so as to be predisposed to
develop cancer in the absence
of RF exposure. Other studies
exposed the animals to RF for
up to 22 hours per day. These
conditions are not similar to
the conditions under which
people use wireless phones, so
we don’t know with certainty
what the results of such studies
mean for human health. Three
large epidemiology studies have
been published since December

2000. Between them, the
studies investigated any
possible association between

44

the use of wireless phones and
primary brain cancer, glioma,
meningioma, or acoustic
neuroma, tumors of the brain
or salivary gland, leukemia,
or other cancers. None of
the studies demonstrated the
existence of any harmful health
effects from wireless phone RF
exposures.

However, none of the studies
can answer questions about
longterm exposures, since the
average period of phone use in
these studies was around three
years.

5. What research is needed
to decide whether RF
exposure from wireless
phones poses a health
risk?

A combination of laboratory
studies and epidemiological
studies of people actually using
wireless phones would provide
some of the data that are needed.
Lifetime animal exposure

studies could be completed in a
few years. However, very large
numbers of animals would be
needed to provide reliable proof
of a cancer promoting effect
if one exists. Epidemiological
studies can provide data that
is directly applicable to human
populations, but 10 or more
years follow-up may be needed
to provide answers about some
health effects, such as cancer.
This is because the interval
between the time of exposure
to a cancer-causing agent and
the time tumors develop - if
they do may be many, many
years. The interpretation of
epidemiological studies is
hampered by difficulties in
measuring actual RF exposure
during day-to-day use of
wireless phones. Many factors
affect this measurement, such
as the angle at which the phone
is held, or which model of
phone is used.

6. What is the FDA doing to
find out more about the
possible health effects of
wireless phone RF?

The FDA is working with
the U.S. National Toxicology
Program and with groups of
investigators around the world
to ensure that high priority
animal studies are conducted
to address important questions
about the effects of exposure
to radiofrequency energy (RF).
The FDA has been a leading
participant in the World Health
Organization International
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Project since its inception in

1996. An influential result

of this work has been the
development of a detailed
agenda of research needs that
has driven the establishment
of new research programs
around the world. The project
has also helped develop a
series of public information

45

Safety Guidelines

documents on EMF issues.
The FDA and the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) have a
formal Cooperative Research
and Development Agreement
(CRADA) to do research on
wireless phone safety. The
FDA provides the scientific
oversight, obtaining input from
experts in government, industry,
and academic organizations.
CTIAfunded research is
conducted through contracts
with independent investigators.
The initial research will include
both laboratory studies and
studies of wireless phone
users. The CRADA will also
include a broad assessment of
additional research needs in the
context of the latest research
developments around the world.

46

7. How can I find out how
much radiofrequency
energy exposure I can
get by using my wireless
phone?

All phones sold in the United
States must comply with
Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines
that limit radiofrequency energy
(RF) exposures.

The FCC established these
guidelines in consultation with
the FDA and the other federal
health and safety agencies. The
FCC limit for RF exposure from
wireless telephones is set at a
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6
W/kg).

The FCC limit is consistent with
the safety standards developed
by the Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineering
(IEEE) and the National Council
on Radiation Protection and
Measurement. The exposure

limit takes into consideration
the body’s ability to remove
heat from the tissues that
absorb energy from the wireless
phone and is set well below
levels known to have effects.

Manufacturers of wireless
phones must report the RF
exposure level for each model
of phone to the FCC. The FCC
website (http://www.fcc.gov/
oet/rfsafety) gives directions for
locating the FCC identification
number on your phone so
you can find your phone’s RF
exposure level in the online
listing.

8. What has the FDA
done to measure the
radiofrequency energy
coming from wireless
phones?

The Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
is developing a technical
standard for measuring the
radiofrequency energy (RF)

exposure from wireless phones
and other wireless handsets
with the participation and
leadership of FDA scientists and
engineers.

The standard, ‘Recommended
Practice for Determining
the Spatial- Peak Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) in the
Human Body Due to Wireless
Communications Devices:
Experimental Techniques,’ sets
forth the first consistent test
methodology for measuring the
rate at which RF is deposited
in the heads of wireless phone
users. The test method uses
a tissuesimulating model of
the human head. Standardized
SAR test methodology is
expected to greatly improve the
consistency of measurements
made at different laboratories
on the same phone. SAR is the
measurement of the amount
of energy absorbed in tissue,
either by the whole body or

47

Safety Guidelines

a small part of the body. It
is measured in watts/kg (or
milliwatts/g) of matter. This
measurement is used to
determine whether a wireless
phone complies with safety
guidelines.

9. What steps can I take to
reduce my exposure to
radiofrequency energy
from my wireless phone?

If there is a risk from these
products - and at this point we
do not know that there is - it is
probably very small.

But if you are concerned about
avoiding even potential risks,
you can take a few simple
steps to minimize your exposure
to radiofrequency energy (RF).
Since time is a key factor in
how much exposure a person
receives, reducing the amount
of time spent using a wireless
phone will reduce RF exposure.
If you must conduct extended
conversations by wireless

48

phone every day, you could
place more distance between
your body and the source of
the RF, since the exposure level
drops off dramatically with
distance. For example, you
could use a headset and carry
the wireless phone away from
your body or use a wireless
phone connected to a remote
antenna. Again, the scientific
data do not demonstrate that
wireless phones are harmful.
But if you are concerned
about the RF exposure from
these products, you can use
measures like those described
above to reduce your RF
exposure from wireless phone
use.

10. What about children
using wireless phones?

The scientific evidence does
not show a danger to users
of wireless phones, including
children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower

exposure to radiofrequency
energy (RF), the measures
described above would apply to
children and teenagers using
wireless phones. Reducing the
time of wireless phone use and
increasing the distance between
the user and the RF source will
reduce RF exposure.

Some groups sponsored by
other national governments
have advised that children
be discouraged from using
wireless phones at all. For
example, the government in
the United Kingdom distributed
leaflets containing such a
recommendation in December

2000. They noted that no
evidence exists that using a
wireless phone causes brain
tumors or other ill effects. Their
recommendation to limit wireless
phone use by children was
strictly precautionary; it was not
based on scientific evidence that
any health hazard exists.

11. What about wireless
phone interference with
medical equipment?

Radiofrequency energy (RF)
from wireless phones can
interact with some electronic
devices. For this reason, the
FDA helped develop a detailed
test method to measure
electromagnetic interference
(EMI) of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators
from wireless telephones.
This test method is now part
of a standard sponsored
by the Association for the
Advancement of Medical
instrumentation (AAMI).

The final draft, a joint effort
by the FDA, medical device
manufacturers, and many
other groups, was completed
in late 2000. This standard will
allow manufacturers to ensure
that cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from
wireless phone EMI. The FDA

49

Safety Guidelines

has tested hearing aids for
interference from handheld
wireless phones and helped
develop a voluntary standard
sponsored by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE). This standard
specifies test methods and
performance requirements
for hearing aids and wireless
phones so that no interference
occurs when a person uses
a ‘compatible’ phone and a
‘compatible’ hearing aid at
the same time. This standard
was approved by the IEEE in

2000. The FDA continues to
monitor the use of wireless
phones for possible interactions
with other medical devices.
Should harmful interference
be found to occur, the FDA will
conduct testing to assess the
interference and work to resolve
the problem.

Driver Safety Tips

Your wireless phone gives
you the powerful ability
to communicate by voice
almost anywhere, anytime.
An important responsibility
accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every
user must uphold.

When operating a car, driving is
your first responsibility.

When using your wireless
phone behind the wheel of a
car, practice good common
sense and remember the
following tips:

1. Get to know your wireless
phone and its features
such as speed dial and
redial. Carefully read your
instruction manual and learn
to take advantage of valuable
features most phones offer,
including automatic redial
and memory. Also, work to
memorize the phone keypad

so you can use the speed
dial function without taking
your attention off the road.

2. Becase in some provinces
you must use handsfree
device by law? A number of
handsfree wireless phone
accessories are readily
available today. Whether you
choose an installed mounted
device for your wireless
phone or a speaker phone
accessory, take advantage
of these devices if available
to you.

3. Position your wireless phone
within easy reach. Make
sure you place your wireless
phone within easy reach
and where you can reach
it without removing your
eyes from the road. If you
get an incoming call at an
inconvenient time, if possible,
let your voicemail answer it
for you.

51

Safety Guidelines

4. Suspend conversations

during hazardous driving
conditions or situations. Let
the person you are speaking
with know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call
in heavy traffic or hazardous
weather conditions. Rain,
sleet, snow and ice can be
hazardous, but so is heavy
traffic. As a driver, your
first responsibility is to pay
attention to the road.

5. Do not take notes or look
up phone numbers while
driving. If you are reading an
address book or business
card, or writing a “to-do”
list while driving a car, you
are not watching where you
are going. It is common
sense. Don’t get caught in a
dangerous situation because
you are reading or writing
and not paying attention to
the road or nearby vehicles.

6. Becase in some provinces
you cannot dial while
driving? if possible, place
calls when you are not
moving or before pulling into
traffic. Try to plan your calls
before you begin your trip
or attempt to coincide your
calls with times you may be
stopped at a stop sign, red
light or otherwise stationary.
But if you need to dial while
driving, follow this simple tip
— dial only a few numbers,
check the road and your
mirrors, then continue.

7. Do not engage in stressful or
emotional conversations that
may be distracting. Stressful
or emotional conversations
and driving do not mix; they
are distracting and even
dangerous when you are
behind the wheel of a car.
Make people you are talking
with aware you are driving
and if necessary, suspend

conversations which have
the potential to divert your
attention from the road.

8. Use your wireless phone to
call for help. Your wireless
phone is one of the greatest
tools you can own to protect
yourself and your family in
dangerous situations — with
your phone at your side,
help is only three numbers
away. Dial 911 or other local
emergency number in the
case of fire, traffic accident,
road hazard or medical
emergency. Remember, it is
a free call on your wireless
phone!

9. Use your wireless phone to
help others in emergencies.
Your wireless phone provides
you a perfect opportunity to
be a “Good Samaritan” in
your community. If you see
an auto accident, crime in
progress or other serious
emergency where lives are

in danger, call 911 or other
local emergency number, as
you would want others to do
for you.

10. Call roadside assistance
or a special wireless
nonemergency assistance
number when necessary.
Certain situations you
encounter while driving
may require attention, but
are not urgent enough to
merit a call for emergency
services. But you can still
use your wireless phone
to lend a hand. If you see
a broken-down vehicle
posing no serious hazard,
a broken traffic signal, a
minor traffic accident where
no one appears injured
or a vehicle. you know to
be stolen, call roadside
assistance or other special
non-emergency wireless
number.

Safety Guidelines

Consumer Information
on SAR (Specific
Absorption Rate)

This Model Phone Meets the
Government’s Requirements for
Exposure to Radio Waves.
Your 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 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

54

standard for wireless mobile
phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the
FCC is 1.6W/kg. *

Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC
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.

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. The highest SAR value
for this model phone when
tested for use at the ear is
1,21 W/kg and when worn on
the body, as described in this
user’s manual, is 1,00 W/kg.
(Body-worn measurements
differ among phones models,
depending upon available
accessories and FCC
requirements.) While there may
be differences between 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 levels evaluated
as in compliance with 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 of
http://www.fcc. gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID BEJ
T320G

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.

* Product meets current FCC &
IC Radio Frequency Exposure
Guidelines.
