USER GUIDE OTS-1

SAR
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio (RF)
energy set by the FCC. 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 know as the
Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR). The 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 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 necessary to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna,
the lower the power required. 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
limits or requirements for safe exposure established by the U.S. government.
The tests are performed in positions and locations (at the ear or on the body,
for example) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value
for the
2ABF5-OTS1
when tested for use at the ear is
0.132W/kg
and, when
worn on the body as described in this manual, is
0.663W/kg
. Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and individual FCC requirements.
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet government requirements for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as compliant with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
may be found under the Display Grant section of the Equipment Authorization
