Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

THIS MODEL 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 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 accepted by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is deter-
mined 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) as required by the FCC for each model. The
highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at
the ear is 1.27 W/kg. While there may be differences between
the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure 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 LJPNSW-3ND.

*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.
