RF Energy Interference/Compatibilit y
Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy i nterference from external
sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy
compatibility. In some circumstances, your mobile device may cause i nterference
with other devices.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct y ou to do
so.
In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever inst ructed to do so by airline
staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline
staff about using it in flight.
Implantable Medical Devices
If you have an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator,
consult your physician before using this mobile device.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observ e the following precautions:
•
ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20centimeters ( 8 inches) from the
implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON.
•
DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize the p otential
for interference.
•
Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your i mplantable medical
device. If you have any questions about using your mobile devic e with your
implantable medical device, consult your healthcare p rovider.
Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)SAR (IEEE)
Your model wireless phone meets the governmental
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured to not exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency ( RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by the
Canadian regulatory authorities. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general popul ation. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by indepen dent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial safety margin desi gned for the safety of all persons ,
regardless of age or health, and to account for any variati ons in measurements.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The IEEE SAR limit set by the FCC and by t he
Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 watts per ki logram (W/kg), averaged over one
gram of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using procedures accepted by the FCC
and by Industry Canada with the mobile device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequencies. Although the SAR is determined at the hi ghest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the mobile device whi le operating can
be below the maximum value. This is because the mobile device is desi gned to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power re quired to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base s tation, the lower the
power output.
Before a mobile device is available for sale to the public i n the U.S. and Canada, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed
the limit established by each government for safe exposure. The tests are perf ormed
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body ) submitted to the
FCC and available for review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR val ue for this
mobile device when tested for use at the ear is 1.39 W/kg, and when worn on the
body, as described in this guide, is 0.47 W/kg. Body-worn measurements can diff er,
depending upon available accessories and regulatory requiremen ts. The SAR
information includes the Motorola testing protocol, ass essment procedure, and
measurement uncertainty range for this product.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various mobile d evices
and at various positions, they meet the governmental requir ements for safe
exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could cause
differences in the SAR value for later products ; in all cases, products ar e designed to
be within the guidelines.
