Before a new model phone is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the exposure limit established by the
FCC. Tests for each model phone are performed in
positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC. For body worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no
metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm
from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The maximum SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are:
• Head:1.20 W/kg.
• Body-worn: 1.23 W/kg.
