Section 15: Health and Safety Information
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 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 of the phone.
The Media menu is used to manage your media files (audio, pictures, videos, games and apps, and other files).
Note:
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 margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified by 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. While there may
be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone 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 printed in the label
on the phone.
