The D6543 Series mobile phones have been designed to

comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to

radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and

receiver. It is designed to not exceed the limits* of exposure to

radio frequency (RF) energy set by governmental authorities.

These limits establish permitted levels of RF energy for the

general population. The guidelines are based on standards

that were developed by international scientific organizations

through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.

The standards include a safety margin designed to assure the

safety of all individuals, regardless of age and health.

The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of

measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).

Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with

the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all

used frequency bands. While there may be differences

between the SAR levels of various phone models, they are all

designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio

waves. For more information on SAR, please refer to the

Important Information chapter in the User Guide.

The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for this

phone model when tested for use by the ear is 0.94 W/kg*,

and when worn on th e bod y is 0.87 W/kg*. For body-worn

operation , the phon e has been test ed wh en po sition ed a

minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts in

the vicinity of the phone or when properly used with an

appropriate accessory and worn on the body. For devices

which include “WiFi hotspot” functionality, SAR measurements

for the device operating in WiFi hotspot mode were taken

using a separation distance of 10 mm. Use of third-party
