FCC Regulations
• This mobile phone 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.
• This mobile phone 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
radiated 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:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on
a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to
operate the equipment.
136
RF Exposure Information
(SAR)
This model phone meets the government’s
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
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 U.S.
Government.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile
phones employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certied power level
in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certied
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 poser required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to
a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone
as reported to the FCC when tested for use at
the ear is 0.48 W/kg for GSM850 / 0.389 W/kg
for PCS1900 and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.79 W/kg for
GSM850 / 0.458 W/kg for PCS1900 / 0.00453
W/kg for WLAN (Body-worn measurements
differ among phone models, depending
upon available enhancements 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.
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 le with the FCC and can be found
under the Display Grant section of http://www.
fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
MSQP525.
137
For body worn operation, this phone
has been tested and meets the FCC
RF exposure guidelines for use with an
accessory that contains no metal and
the positions the handset a minimum
of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of
other enhancements may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. If you do no t use a body-
worn accessory and are not holding the
phone at the ear, position the handset a
minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when
the phone is switched on.
