SAR INFORMATIONII

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S RE- QUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless phone 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 Fed- eral Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and estab- lish 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 phones 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 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 ac- tual 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 ex- ceed the limit established by the government-adopted require- ment for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as re- quired by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.49 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.25 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC re- quirements). 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 com- pliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR informa- tion 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 CJ6DCE44941A.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet As- sociation (CTIA) web-site at http://phonefacts.net.

*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 sub- stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
