This model wireless phone meets the government’s
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to 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 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 or 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 and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is
1.6 W/kg.
1 Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada 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 use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in 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 performed in positions and locations (e.g.,
at the ear and worn on the body) reported to the FCC and available for
review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this model 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 0.86 W/kg. The SAR value for
this product in its data transmission mode (body-worn use) is
0.81 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and regulatory requirements).

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the governmental
requirements 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 are designed to be within the guidelines.
