minimum separation distance of 0.59 inches (1.5 cm) must be maintained between the user's
body and the back of the phone. Third-party belt clips, holsters, and similar accessories
containing metallic components should not be used.
Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.59 inches (1.5 cm) separation distance between
the user's body and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical body-worn
operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.29 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this user’s manual, is 1.19 W/kg. While there may be
differences between SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
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 R38YL3636A
To find information that pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID
number which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be
necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number
for your phone, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical
or maximum SAR for that phone.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations
in measurements.
