■Certification Information (SAR)
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by Industry Canada. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the Industry Canada is 1.6W/ kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device 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 of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as 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 of the device.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the Canadian Standard must be shown. 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 guide, is 0.70 W/kg. (While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement of RF 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 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 exposure guidelines for use with a carry case, belt clip or holder that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 2.2 cm(7/8 inch) from the body. Use of other carry cases, belt clips, or holders may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a
