16 BlackBerry Wireless Handheld
the handheld 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 wireless handheld model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC/IC 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/IC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model handheld when
tested for use at the ear is 0.35 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 0.11 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among wireless
handheld and phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC/IC
requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
wireless devices and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handheld with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model handheld is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID L6AR6220GW.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http://

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile handhelds used by
the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue for the body or
head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands,
wrists, ankles and feet). The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety
to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
The long-term characteristics or the possible physiological effects of Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic fields have not been evaluated by UL.
ANTENNA CARE
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Unauthorized antenna, modifications, or
attachments could damage the handheld and may violate FCC regulations.
