Avaya 3616 Wireless Telephone and Desktop Charger
For SRP
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) INFORMATION:
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
•ANSI C95.1 (1992) American National Standards Institute
•NCRP - Report 86 (1986) National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
•ICNIRP (1996) International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection;
•DHWC - Safety Code 6 Department of Health and Welfare Canada
Those standards 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 phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.1 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 the 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. This is because the phone 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. 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. While there may be differences between the 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 IYGSNP2400. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
The only authorized headsets that may be utilized with the Avaya 3616 Wireless Telephones are those obtainable from Avaya or it’s reseller partners.
The measured SAR of the Avaya 3616 Wireless Telephone is 0.0495W/kG @ 2412 Mhz (head) and 0.0309W/kG @ 2412 Mhz (body).
Phone Operation Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with the earpiece to your ear and speak into the microphone. The internal antenna is then positioned properly.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY:
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio product in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers: The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio product and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the radio product more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when the radio product is turned ON.
•Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.
•Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
•Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids: Some digital wireless radio products may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices: If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of radio products in the area where you drive. Always obey them. When using the radio product while driving, please:
•Give full attention to driving and to the road.
•Use hands-free operation, if available.
•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
1In 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.
