Important Safety Information
4A. Important Safety Information 95
1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF
signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from
universities, government health agencies and industries developed this
updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993,
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation.
In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing
ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of
Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a
handset on your body, use an approved carrying case, holster or other
body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the
antenna is at least
7/16 inch (1.5 centimeters) from your body when
transmitting. Use of non-approved accessories may violate FCC RF
exposure guidelines.

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Phones
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed
into the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring
and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone
emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory
settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially
less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of
factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and
other factors.
What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal
guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a
substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values
between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for
use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the PLS-m240 are:
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):
Head: 0.867 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.894 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 0.683 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.539 W/kg
