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 C om mission of t he United States.
During SA R t es tin g , th i s d e vic e was set to transmi t a t it s hi ghest 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 t he separation
74
of 5 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 pow er required to rea ch 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 employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorpt ion Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit s et by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled ex posure limi ts 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 Aut horization 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-BLADEV8MINI. For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against
the head is 1.342 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.554 W/kg. While th ere may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the governm ent requir ement.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
75
separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry this device a t least 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 that do not contain metallic components to maintain a separation of 10 mm between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory that contains metal was not tested nor certified, and using such body-worn accessory should be avoided.

FCC Regulations

This mobile phone complies with part 15 of t he FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the f o llowing two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harm ful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This mobile phone has been tested and found to co mply with the limits for a Class B digital de vice, pursuant to Par t 15 of th e F C C Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential inst allation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in ac cordan ce with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
