Battery Safety Precautions
For the safe use of lithium ion batteries always follow the instructions provided
below. Improper handling of lithium ion batteries may result in injury or damage
from electrolyte leakage, heating, ignition, or explosion.
RF exposure
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC with the device 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 device while operation can be
well below the maximum value. This is because the device 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. Before a device model is available fro 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 in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on
the body) as required by the FCC for each model. (Body-worn measurements
may differ among device models, depending upon available accessories and
Customer Care 59
FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure. For body worn operation, to maintain
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only accessories that
contain no metallic components and provide a separation distance of 2.5cm (1
inch) to the body. Use of other accessories may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines and should be avoided.
