SAR Information Statement
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for 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 0.80 W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 0.27 W/Kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). 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 exposure 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: 2AHS8-KPAU02 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 1.6watts/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.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 10 mm 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.
