RF Exposure
Health and safety information
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model phone meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
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 U.S.
Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted
13
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
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the
FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.29 W/kg and when worn
on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.11 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available enhancements 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 of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on
FCC ID: Q78-VDF945
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that
contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of
1.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do
14
no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at
the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your
body when the phone is switched on.
FCC Compliance（FOR PART 15B/PART 15C）
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.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
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 will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful 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:
15
—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.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for
help.
