Important safety and
legal information
FCC Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Antenna Care/Unauthorized Modifications
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Unauthorized antenna
modifications or attachments could damage the unit and may violate
FCC regulations. Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Safety Statement
In order to comply with FCC RF exposure safety guidelines, users
MUST use one of the following types of bodyworn accessories.
• A Palm ™ brand body-worn accessory that has been tested for
SAR compliance and is intended for use with this product.
• An accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc.) and
provides AT LEAST 1.5 cm of separation between the users body
and the unit.
Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct contact
with the body (i.e., on the lap or in a breast pocket). Such use will
likely exceed FCC RF safety exposure limits See www.fcc.gov/oet/
rfsafety/ for more information on RF exposure safety.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Smartphones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a smartphone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much
RF the smartphone emits. All smartphone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the
SAR of a smartphone can be substantially less than the level reported
to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its
proximity to a base station antenna, smartphone design and other
factors. What is important to remember is that each smartphone
meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a
variation in safety.
All smartphones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR
values between different model smartphones do not mean variations
in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are
considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported (FCC) SAR values of the Palm ® Treo ™ 700 P
smartphone, by Palm are:
Maximum SAR
