SAFETY
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories
that maintain a 15 mm separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, including the
antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its
assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at

SAR INFORMATION
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 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.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.47 W/kg PCS CDMA Head SAR
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.809 W/kg PCS CDMA Body SAR. (Body-worn
