•RADIO WAVES:
THIS CELLPHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPO- SURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Yourcellphone is a radio transmitter and receiver.It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
The exposure standard for cellphones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue.Testsfor SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the cellphone transmitting at its highest cer- tified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the cellphone while operating can be well below the maximum value.This is because the cellphone 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 cellphone Before a cellphone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and stan- dards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested is:
