This Model Phone Meets the Government’s Requirements for Exposure to
Radio Waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC)
of the U.S. Government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of
Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were
developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry,
government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature
related to the biological effects of RF energy. The exposure limit for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human
body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6
W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give
additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although 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. Because the
phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power
required
to reach the network, generally, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at
the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. This
device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone
kept 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) between the user’s body and the back of the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 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.
