For Your Safety
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This phone 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 United States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in
positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head
with no separation, and near the body with the separation of 15
mm 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 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.
The exposure standard for wireless devices 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.
This device complies with SAR for general population/uncontrolled
exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and has 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

20
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: SRQ-Z559DL.The FCC ID also can be
found on the device when you swipe up on the home screen and
touch Settings > System > About phone > Regulatory
information.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against
the head is 0.85 W/kg, for usage near the body is 0.93 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirements.
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.
FCC Regulations
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
