Consumer Information on SAR

(Specific Absorption Rate)

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 radio frequency (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 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. * 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 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. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels 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 1.28 mW/g and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.83 mW/g. (Body- worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between 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 BEJTM520.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.wow- com.com.

*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.

The screen showcased up to 65,536 colors, making navigation through menus and viewing multimedia content visually engaging.

The LG VX10 was equipped with an impressive 1.3-megapixel camera, which was a significant upgrade for mobile devices at the time. Users could capture decent-quality photos and videos directly from their phones, an exciting prospect when compared to many other phones that either offered lower resolution cameras or none at all. This ability to document moments on the go was complemented by built-in picture messaging capabilities, allowing users to share their memories instantly with friends and family.

Additionally, the VX10 supported Bluetooth technology, paving the way for wireless accessories. This feature was particularly valued by users who wanted to connect their devices hands-free, enhancing safety and convenience during calls. The phone was also capable of accessing the internet, though it was primarily geared toward basic browsing and email functionalities, reflecting the mobile technology landscape of its time.

Battery life was another highlight, with the VX10 boasting a talk time of several hours on a single charge. This level of performance alleviated concerns about frequently needing to recharge and enabled users to stay connected throughout the day.

With features such as customizable ringtones, a speakerphone, and various messaging options, the LG Electronics VX10 catered to a diverse audience. Its combination of style, functionality, and technological advancement solidified its position as a beloved device in the age of flip phones. While technology has evolved significantly since its release, the VX10 remains a nostalgic piece of mobile history for many users.
