Health and Safety Information
Warning Regarding Display
The display on your handset is made of glass or acrylic and could break if
your handset is dropped or if it receives significant impact. Do not use if
screen is broken or cracked as this could cause injury to you.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) 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 the safety 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 phones employs a unit of
measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit
recommended by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
*
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
*.
In the U.S. 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 mar-
gin of safety to give additional protection for the public and
to account for any variations in measurements.
