This product meets applicable national SAR limits of
2.0 W/kg. The specific maximum SAR values can be
found on this user guide.
When carrying the product or using it while worn on
your body, either use an approved accessory such as a
holster or otherwise maintain a distance of 10 mm
from the body to ensure compliance with RF exposure
requirements. Note that the product may be transmitting even if you are not
making a phone call.
RADIO WAVES
Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)
THIS Device MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy.
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. These guidelines include a
substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure standard for devices employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal Communications
Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over 1 gram of body tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device
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 device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device 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 of the device.

Before a device model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national
regulations and standards must be shown.
Maximum SAR value for this model:
Maximum SAR value in the head: 0.284 W/Kg
Maximum SAR value in the body: 0.724 W/Kg
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure.
For body-worn operation, the device meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided
that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 10 mm
from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications
& Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http:// www.phonefacts.net.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of
devices. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or
their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using “hands-free”
devices to keep devices away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193).
Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health are
available on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a licensed radio service
(e.g. FM broadcast), they bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
For other devices, they bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high
volume levels for long periods.
Information about the meaning of marking CE:
That means that the product answers to
essential requirements of the European Directive
93/68/EEC applicable in the conformity
assessment procedures.
