SAR INFORMATION
the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.633 W/kg. (Body-
worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at var-
ious 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 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 search-
ing on FCC ID PP4TX-50C.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(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 substantial
margin of
safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S

REQUIREMENTS 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 Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These lim-
its 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 scientif-
ic organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of sci-
entific 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 con-
ducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is deter-
mined 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. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
for use at the ear is 1.15 W/kg and when worn on
