The model wireles s phone meets the governme nt’s requirements for
ex pos ure to radio waves .
Your wireles s phone is a radio transmitter and rece iver. It is des igned and
manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency ( R F )
ene rgy s et by the F e deral C ommunications C ommission (F C C) of the
U.S . G overnme nt and by the C anadian regulatory a uthorities . T hes e

of R F energy for the general population. T he guidelines are bas ed on
standards that were deve loped by independent s cientific orga nizations
through periodic a nd thorough evaluation of scientific s tudies . T he
standards include a subs tantial s afety margin designed to as sure the

transmitting at its highes t certified power level in all tes ted frequency
bands. Although the S AR is determined at the highes t ce rtified power
level, the actual S AR level of the phone while operating can be well below
the ma ximum value. T his is becaus e the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels s o a s to use only the power required to rea ch the
network. In genera l, the closer you are to a wireles s bas e s tation, the
lower the power output.
