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.
*Please see Electromagnetic Waves on the left for
important notes regarding body-worn operation.
**Measured in accordance with international
guidelines for testing.

.Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits of 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
will not occur in a particular installation; if this
equipment does cause harmful 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:
1. Reorient/relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment

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 http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid under the
Display Grant section after searching on the
corresponding FCC ID (see table on the left).
Additional information on Specific Absorption
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) Website at http://www.phonefacts.net.

Safety Precautions
942SH 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.
942SH has been granted Technical Regulations
Conformity Certification by TELECOM
ENGINEERING CENTER. Its highest SAR value
is 0.571 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.
