Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it
is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you
communicate with your phone, the system handling your
call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
FCC 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 0.4 inches (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
68
of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
This device is complied with SAR for general
population/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in
IEEE1528.
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:
SRQ-ZTEA32019V.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage
against the head is 0.779W/kg, and for usage near the body
is 0.961W/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 0.4 inches (10 mm) between the unit
and the human body. Carry this device at least 0.4 inches (10
mm) away from your body to ensure RF exposure level
compliant or lower to the reported level. To support
body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which
do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation
69
of 0.4 inches (10 mm) between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory that
contains metal was not tested and certified, and use of such
body-worn accessory should be avoided.
FCC Regulations
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to 139 radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
70
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
Distractions
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to
reduce the risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving
