Health and safety information
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to
radio waves.
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 omm i ss i on o f the U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit s et b y t he F C C i s 1. 6W /k g. *T est s fo r S AR a re conducte d usi n g
standar d ope rat ing p osit ions accepted by the FCC with the phone
transm itt i n g at i ts hi gh est certif ied po we r le v el i n al l t est e d f r eq uen c y ban ds .
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone 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 poser required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna,
the lower the power output.
12
The high est SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when
tested fo r use at the ea r is 1.44W/kg and when worn on the body, as
descri bed in this us er gu ide , is 1.24W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels ev al uat ed as i n c ompliance wi t h t he F CC 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
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID:
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposur e gui deli nes for us e wit h an acc ess or y that c ont ains no met al an d
the posit ions the h ands et a mi nim um of 1. 5 cm fr om th e body. Use of ot her
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn access or y and ar e not hol din g
the pho ne at t h e ea r, position the ha ndset a minim um of 1. 5 cm f rom yo ur
body when the phone is switched on.
Q78-GS235
13
Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation(RF) exposure.
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used with
a minimum of 15 mm separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding
the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World
Health Organisation (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the
need for any special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If individuals are
concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure
by limiting the length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’ devices to keep mobile
phones away from the head and body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page
http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000.
