Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. Your NEC 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. 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.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (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 certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified 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 power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base

station antenna, the lower the output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established

by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed on position and locations (for example, at the ear and

worn on the body) as required by FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for

use at the ear is 0.33 W/kg, and when worn on the body, is 0.05 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending

upon available accessories 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 file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section at

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after search on FCC ID A98-FOMA-N900IG.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with a NEC accessory designated

for this product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.

**In the United States, the SAR limit for wireless mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.

SAR values may vary depending upon national reporting requirements and the network band.
