Safety Precautions
For body-worn operation, this phone has been
tested and meets RF exposure guidelines when
used with accessories containing no metal, that
position handset a minimum of 15 mm from the
body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with RF exposure guidelines.
.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, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
.Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the manufacturer responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
Your handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government.
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 handsets
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.
Highest SAR value:
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the handset 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 handset. The use of
beltclips, 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.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this model handset with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information on this model
handset is on file with the FCC and can be found at
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm
under the Display Grant section after searching on
the corresponding FCC ID (see table above).
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
Website at http://www.phonefacts.net.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organization
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to
assure the protection of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they
can be used in other positions, such as on the body
as described in this user guide*.
Highest SAR value:
As SAR is measured utilizing the device's highest
transmitting power the actual SAR of this device
while operating is typically below that indicated
above. This is due to automatic changes to the
power level of the device to ensure it only uses the
minimum level required to reach the Network. The
World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for
any special precautions for the use of mobile
devices. They note that if you want to reduce your
exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of
calls or using a handsfree device to keep the mobile
phone away from the head and body.

Safety Precautions
xviii
824SH meets the government's requirements
for exposure to radio waves.
These requirements are based on scientific basis to
assure that radio waves emitted from mobile phones
and other handheld wireless devices do not affect
human health. They require that the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR), which is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radiofrequency
absorbed by the body, shall not exceed 2 W/kg*. This
limit includes a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or
health, and meets the international standard set by
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) in cooperation with World
Health Organization (WHO).
All mobile phones, prior to product launch, must be
certified as compliant with government requirements
as stipulated by the Radio Law. 824SH has been
granted Technical Regulations Conformity
Certification by TELECOM ENGINEERING
CENTER. Its highest SAR value is 0.816 W/kg. This
value was obtained by TELECOM ENGINEERING
CENTER as part of the certification process. SAR
tests were conducted with handset transmitting at its
highest certified power level in accordance with
testing methods set by the government. While there
may be differences between the SAR levels for
various handsets, they all meet the governmental
requirements for safe exposure. The actual SAR
level of the handset while operating can be well
below the highest value. This is because the
handset is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the Network.
Additional information on SAR can be obtained on
the following Websites.
