Important Safety Information
National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. 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 mobile phone
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6 W/kg.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model device with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on
file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of
fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm after
searching on FCC ID: NM8PG86100.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
website at
phonefacts.net.
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 usage. Normal condition only to
ensure the radiative performance and safety of the
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting
equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory
operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that no part of the
human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements,
a minimum separation distance of 0.4 inch (1 cm) must
be maintained between the user’s body and the
handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips,
holsters, and similar accessories used by this device
should not contain any metallic components. Body-
worn accessories that do not meet these requirements
may not comply with RF exposure requirements and
should be avoided.
