4RF Exposure Information (SAR)
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, Industry Canada of
Canada.
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 employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg, and 1.6W/kg by Industry Canada.
This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1992 and Canada RSS 102, and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and
-5-
procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, and Canada RSS 102. This device has been tested,
and meets the FCC, IC RF exposure guidelines when tested with the device directly contacted to the body.
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: YHLBLUSAMBATV.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 0.87W/kg, for usage near the
body is 1.03W/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.
