Important Information (U.S.)
THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
This mobile phone model T292a has been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your
wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to
not exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government. These limits establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards
that were developed by international scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions accepted 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. Before a phone model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and certified to 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 (i.e., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value as reported to the
FCC for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.154
W/kg and when worn on the body is 0.267 W/kg. Body worn
measurements are made while the phone is in use and worn on the
body with an Ericsson or Sony Ericsson accessory. Accessories can
significantly affect SAR compliance. The Federal Communication
Commission requires that some manufacturers' accessories be
tested, and Sony Ericsson has done so with respect to its products.
Sony Ericsson has only tested Ericsson and Sony Ericsson original
accessories in conjunction with Sony Ericsson phones. It is
therefore recommended that only Ericsson and Sony Ericsson
original accessories be used in conjunction with Sony Ericsson
phones. 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. While there may
be differences between the SAR levels of various phones, all mobile
phones granted an FCC equipment authorization meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
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 PY7A1061011.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a margin of
safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.
