Safety Information
ALL MODELS WITH FCC ID IHDT56HG1
MEET 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 1.6W/kg.
1
Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions
reviewed 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 is 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 1.54 W/kg and when tested on the
body, as described in this user guide, is 1.48 W/kg
during packet data transmission. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements.)

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
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of

after searching on
FCC ID IHDT56HG1.
