45
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, in general, 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 governmentadopted
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.
The highest SAR values are:
* Head: 0.70 W/kg
* Body (Body-worn/Hotspot): 1.19 W/kg
(body measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories
and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between
SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
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. 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 ZNFMS323. 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.
TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety
Information for wireless handheld phones.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable phone is
a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
When ON, it receives and sends out Radio
Frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for handheld
wireless phones. Those guidelines are
consistent with the safety standards previously
set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
