THE SIEMENS SX56 WIRELESS PDA
PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIATION WAVES.
Your wireless Siemens SX56 wireless PDA
phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (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 the 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. This is because
the phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to
* 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.
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 (for example, at the ear and
worn on the body) as required by the FCC for
each model. The highest SAR value for this
Siemens SX56 wireless PDA phone when
tested for use at the ear is 1.13 W/kg, and
when worn on the body, as described in this
user guide, is 0.578 W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements.) While there may be
differences between the 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 Siemens SX56 wireless
PDA phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information on this
Siemens SX56 wireless PDA phone is on file
with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of
