Safety Precautions and Conditions of Use
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
*
Tests for SAR
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.
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 0.280 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.741
W/kg. Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm
from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm
separation distance between the user’s body and the back of
the phone. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar
accessories should not contain metallic components in its
assembly.
The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements
may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and
should be avoided. 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 RF emission 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 APYHRO00048.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.phonefacts.net.

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
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for
the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
