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 1.6 W/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 1.17 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.914 W/kg (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 BEJVX3200. 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.

When closed, it protected the keypad from accidental presses, which was a common problem with many traditional candy-bar phones. The internal display boasted a vibrant color screen, while the external display allowed users to see incoming calls and notifications without opening the device, enhancing convenience.

The VX3200 was equipped with a solid set of basic features, including a reliable speakerphone, a predictive text input system, and customizable ringtones. It also supported polyphonic ringtones, which allowed for richer sound quality compared to monophonic ringtones, making it easier for users to personalize their devices.

In terms of connectivity, the VX3200 supported CDMA technology, ensuring good call quality and coverage in areas serviced by the network. The phone featured a long battery life, allowing users to stay connected for extended periods without frequent recharging. This was especially appreciated by those who relied on their phones for day-to-day communication.

One notable characteristic of the VX3200 was its user-friendly interface. The menu was intuitive, making navigation straightforward for users of all ages. The phone also supported voice dialing, which added another layer of convenience, allowing users to make calls hands-free, an essential feature in the automotive environment or for multitasking.

While the VX3200 may not have boasted the advanced features of smartphones today, it was a reliable and functional device that met the essential needs of its users. It perfectly illustrated the balance of practicality and style that LG Electronics aimed to achieve, allowing it to hold a notable place in the mobile phone market during its time. The LG VX3200 remains a fond memory for many who appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness of early mobile technology.
