RF Exposure
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you
communicate with your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
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 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.747 W/kg * and when
tested near the body (at a distance of 15mm) the highest SAR value was 0.467W/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. As SAR is measured utilizing the device's highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device
while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to
communicate with the network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with [CENELEC EN50360] [IEC standard PT62209-1].
Body worn operation
Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure. To ensure compliance with RF
exposure guidelines the phone must be used with a minimum of 1.5 cm separation from the body. Failure to observe
these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides
the following advice: Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for the 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. Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page
http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
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 United States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands,
and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with no separation, and near the body
with the separation of 15 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the device 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 power output.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and
had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528. This device has
been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when tested with the device directly contacted to the body.
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
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: SRQ-ZTER28.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 0.60 W/kg, for usage near the body is
1.11 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 15 mm between the unit and the
human body. Carry this device at least 15 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to
the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic
components, to maintain a separation of 15 mm between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal, was not tested and certified, and use
such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
