Radio Waves
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radiofrequency (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 mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the
Federal Communication 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 mobile phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.

16
This device is complied with SAR for general population /
uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and
had been tested in accordance with the measurement
methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528.
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 www.fcc.
gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJN048.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the mobile phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the mobile 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 of the
mobile phone. Before a mobile phone model is available for
sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and
standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when
tested is 0.78 W/kg for use at the ear and 1.27 W/kg for use
close to the body.
While there may be dierences between the SAR levels of
various cellphones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for RF exposure.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
separation distance of 15 mm between the unit and the
human body. Carry this device at least 15 mm away from
your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to
the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose
the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic
components, to maintain a separation of 15 mm between this
device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory,
which contains metal, was not tested and certified, and use
such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site:
http://www.ctia.org/

17
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that
present scientific information does not indicate the need
for any special precautions for use of mobile phones. 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 mobile phones
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 o 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 dierent
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.
