FCC RF Exposure Information
Your handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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 guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organization through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. 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.
The highest SAR value for this model handset as reported to the FCC when
tested for use at the ear is 0.582 W/kg, and when worn on the body in a
holder or carry case, is 0.286 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations with the back of the handset kept 1.5 cm from the body. To
maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories
that maintain a 1.5 cm separation distance between the user's body and
the back of the handset. The use of beltclips, holsters and similar
accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly.
The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided. The
FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handset with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information on this model handset is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on FCC ID UCE210030A.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on
the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.phonefacts.net.
Electromagnetic Waves
For body worn operation, this mobile phone has been tested
and meets RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
containing no metal and positioning the handset a minimum
15 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with RF exposure guidelines.
FCC Notice
This device 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
xx
European RF Exposure Information
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the
independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.327 W/kg*. As
mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide**. In this
case, the highest tested SAR value is 0.287 W/kg. As SAR is measured
utilizing the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this
device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due
to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only
uses the minimum level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the
use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure
then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free
device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
*The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for
testing.
** Please see Electromagnetic Waves on page xix for important notes
regarding body worn operation.

* Requirements are stipulated in Radio Law (Ordinance Regulating Radio
Equipment, Article 14-2).
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
942P meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio
waves.
These requirements are based on scientific basis to assure that
radio waves emitted from mobile phones and other handheld
wireless devices do not affect human health. They require that
the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radiofrequency absorbed by the
head, shall not exceed 2 W/kg*. This limit includes a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age or health, and meets the international standard
set by International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) in cooperation with World Health
Organization (WHO).
All mobile phones, prior to product launch, must be certified as
compliant with government requirements as stipulated by the
Radio Law.
942P has been granted Technical Regulations Conformity
Certification by TELECOM ENGINEERING CENTER. Its highest SAR
value is 0.360 W/kg. This value was obtained by TELECOM
ENGINEERING CENTER as part of the certification process. SAR
tests were conducted with handset transmitting at its highest
certified power level in accordance with testing methods set by
the government. While there may be differences between the SAR
levels for various handsets, they all meet the governmental
requirements for safe exposure. The actual SAR level of the
handset while operating can be well below the highest value. This
is because the handset is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the Network.
Additional information on SAR can be obtained on the following
