Safetya nd General Information
ALLMODELS WIT H FCC ID AZ489FT5832 MEET THE
GOVERNMENT’SREQUIREMENTS FOR EX POSURE
TORADIO WAVES.
Yourwireless phoneis a rad iotr ansmitter and receiver. It
isdesigned and m anufactured not to exceed the emission
limitsfor exposu re tor adiofrequency (RF) energy set by
theFederal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limitsar epa rtof comprehen sive
guidelinesa nd establish permitted levels of RF energy for
thegeneral pop ulation. The guidelines are based on
standardsth at were developed by independent sc ientific
organizationsth rough periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientifics tudies. The standards include a substantial
safetymargin desig ned to assure the safety of all persons,
regardlessof ageand hea lth.
Theexposure s tandard for wireless mobile phones
employsa uni t of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limi t set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg.1Testsfor SARare conduc ted using standard
operatingpos itions reviewed bythe F CCwith the phone
transmittingat itshighest cert ified power level in all tested
frequencyba nds. Although the SAR is determined atthe
highestcertifi ed power level, the actual SAR level of the
phonewhile operatingcan be wellbelow the maximum
value.This is becau se the phone is designed to operate at
multiplepower le velss oa s to useonl y the power required
toreach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wirelessbase stati on antenna, the lower the power output.
Beforea phone m odel is available for sale to the public, it
mustbe tested a nd certified to the FCC that is does not
exceedthe li mit established by the government-adopted
requirementfo rsa fe exposure. The tests are performed in
positionsan d locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the
body)as required bythe FCC for each mod el. The highest
SARvalue for th is model phone when tested for use at the
earis 1.45 W /kg and when tested on the body, as
describedin th is user guide, is 1.26 W/kg during packet
datatransmi ssion. (Body-worn measurements differ
amongphone m odels, depending upon available
accessoriesand FCCrequirem ents.)2
Whilethere may be differencesbetween the S AR levels of
variousphones andat various positions,they allmeet the
governmentr equirement for safe exposure.
TheFCC has grantedan Equipm ent Authorization for this
modelphone withall reported S AR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
informationo n this model phone is on file with the FCC
andcan be f ound under the Display Grant section of
