c) SAR Information

Your wireless 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 1.6W/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 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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the

body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when

tested for use at the ear is 0.122W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide,

is 1.47W/Kg_. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available

accessories and FCC requirements). [Labeling Committee note: if applicable, if body-worn SARs

are required]. 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 model phone with all reported SAR

levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on

this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid

after searching on FCC ID NM8HARRIER.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the CTIA – The Wireless

Association TM (CTIA) web-site at

* 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.
