•RADIOWAVES:
THIS CELLPHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURETORADIOWAVES.
Yourcellphone is a radio transmitter andreceiver.It is designed and manufactured
nottoexceedtheemissionlimitsforexposuretoradio-frequency(RF)energy.These
limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for thegeneral population.The guidelines are basedon standards thatwere
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies.These guidelines include a substantial safety margin
designed toensurethe safetyof allpersons,regardless ofage andhealth.
Theexposurestandardfor cellphonesemploys aunitofmeasurementknownas the
SpecificAbsorption Rate,or SAR.The SARlimitset bypublic authoritiessuchas the
FederalCommunicationsCommissionoftheUSGovernment(FCC), orbyIndustry
Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are
conducted usingstandard operating positionswith the cellphonetransmitting at its
highest certifiedpowerlevel inall testedfrequency bands.
Althoughthe SARis determinedat thehighestcertified power level,theactual SAR
levelof thecellphone whileoperatingcan bewell below themaximumvalue.This is
because the cellphone is designedto operate at multiple power levels soas to use
only the power required to reach the network.In general,the closer you are to a
wireless basestation antenna,the lower thepower output ofthe cellphone Before
a cellphone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national
regulationsand standardsmust beshown.
The highest SARvalue forthis modelcellphone whentested is:
OT-706A:1.19W/Kgfor useat theear and0.966W/Kg foruse closeto thebody.
