THIS MODEL HANDSET MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless handset 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 of the U.S. Government. 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 standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile handsets 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 with the handset 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 handset while operating can be well below the maxi- mum value. This is because the handset 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 sta- tion antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a handset 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. The highest SAR value for this model handset when tested for use at the ear is 0.724 W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.596 W/Kg.

*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile handsets used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
