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 0.843 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.191
W/kg (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: MSQP527.
168
Additional Information can be found on the websites of the World Health Organization
(http://www.who.int/emf).
* The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for testing. The limit incorporates a
substantial margin for safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations
in measurements. Additional related information includes the ASUS testing protocol, assessment
procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.
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.
