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 Commission of 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 set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. 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 power required to reach the
98
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear and on the body are:
Head: 1.38 W/kg, Body: 1.44 W/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 individual ZTE V768 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 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 http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: Q78-ZTEV768 For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and
meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from your body when the
99
phone is switched on.
