User Guide for the Slider Sonic Phone iii
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.
Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon availability of 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 emission guidelines.
SAR information on this model phone is on file with the
FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the
FCC ID: OVFKWC-KX5.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association
(CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
* 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.
Caution
The user is cautioned that changes or modifications
not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the warranty and user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

Air bags
If your vehicle has an air bag, DO NOT place installed
or portable phone equipment or other objects over the
air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If equipment
is not properly installed, you and your passengers risk
serious injury.
Medical devices
Pacemakers—Warning to pacemaker wearers:
Wireless phones, when in the ‘on’ position, have been
shown to interfere with pacemakers. The phone
should be kept at least six (6) inches away from the
pacemaker to reduce risk.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association and
the wireless technology research community
recommend that you follow these guidelines to
minimize the potential for interference.
• Always keep the phone at least six inches
(15 centimeters) away from your pacemaker when
the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry your phone near your heart.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference
is taking place, turn off your phone immediately.
Hearing aids—Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
may want to consult Virgin Mobile or call the customer
service line to discuss alternatives.
