exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission 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 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 mobile phones 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. * Tests for SAR are conducted 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 (e.g., at the ear and
worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use
at the ear is 0.773
W/Kg
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.757W/Kg
(Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). The maximum
scaled SAR in hotspot mode is 1.175W/Kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RFexposure
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:
2AHDFGO1452 Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. * In the United States 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 sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
