•RADIOWAVES:
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. 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. These guidelines include a substantial safety
margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal
Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by
Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
with the mobile 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 mobile phone while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the mobile
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 of the mobile phone. Before a mobile phone
model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national
regulations and standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested
is 0.468 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.393 W/Kg for use close
to the body.
102
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various mobile phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn
operation, the mobile phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines
provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the
handset at least 10 mm from the body. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site:
http://www.ctia.org/
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for use of mobile phones. If individuals
are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their
children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using
“hands-free” devices to keep mobile phones away from the head
and body. Additional WHO information about electromagnetic
fields and public health are available on the following website:
http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
103
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for
help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a
licensed radio service (e.g. FM broadcast), they bear the following
statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful
interference.
For other devices, they bear the following statement:
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
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Your mobile phone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For
optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used
in positions other than against your ear. In such circumstances
the device will be compliant with the guidelines when used with
headset or usb data cable. If you are using another accessory
ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that
it positions the mobile phone at least 10 mm away from the body.
