When making an emergency call, remember to give all the ne-
cessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that
your wireless phone may be the only means of communication
at the scene of an accident - do not cut off the call until given
permission to do so.
Certification Information (SAR)
THIS MODEL 6160 PHONE MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIRE-
MENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is de-
signed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by Industry Canada. These
limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish per-
mitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the Industry Canada is 1.6 W/kg* Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions 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 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 base station, the lower the power output
of the phone.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compli-
ance with the Canadian Standard must be shown. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear
is 1.46 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of body tissue.
The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any varia-
tions in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on
national reporting requirements and the network band. For SAR
