RF Exposure Information

This PDA meets the government’s requirement
for exposure to radio waves. This PDA is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. The
exposure standard for wireless devices employs
a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the
FCC is 1.6W/Kg. Test for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions accepted by the
FCC with the device 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
device while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the PDA is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so
as to use only the poser required to reach the
network.

In general, the closer user to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
For body worn operation, this PDA has been
tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines
for use with an accessory that contains no metal
and the positions of the handset minimum of 1.5
cm from the body. User of other enhancements
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If user do not use a body­worn accessory and are not holding the PDA at
the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5
cm from your body when the device is switched

on.

RF exposure information (SAR)

This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States. During SAR
testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands,
and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with no separation, and near
the body with the separation of 10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as 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.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1­1992 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in

xiii

IEEE1528. This device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when tested with the
device directly contacted to the body.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is
on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: PX9500

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage near the body is 0.305 W/kg. While there may
be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirements. SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of
0 mm between the unit and the human body.
