safety and usage information

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information

Your device conforms to U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram of body tissue.

During testing, the maximum SAR values recorded for this model were:

Network Frequency

GSM850 GSM900 GSM1800 GSM1900

* When used with accessories that contain no metal and

provide at least 1.5cm separation between the device (including the antenna, whether extended or retracted) and the wearer's body.

Specific Absorption Rate (W/kg)

Held to ear Worn on body

0.635 0.711

X.XXX X.XXX X.XXX X.XXX

0.593 0.923

In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lo wer levels when possible, your device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.

The FCC has granted an Equi pme nt Au thor iz ati on for this model phone based on the compliance of al l reported SAR levels with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The authorization can be found on the FCC Office of Engine ering and Technology w ebsite at http://www.fc.gov/oet/ea (search for grantee code A3L and product code (SGHU900L).
