The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g.: at ear or worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR for this model when tested for use at head is 0.705 W/kg (1900MHz) and 0.411 W/kg (850MHz), while 0.766 W/kg (1900MHz) and 1.460 W/kg (850 MHz) at body.To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum distance of 1.5 cm between the body and the device must be maintained. Third party holsters and similar accessories must not contain metallic parts. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with the RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Unauthorized antenna, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna, if a damaged antenna comes in contact with the skin, may result to a minor burn. Contact your dealer for a replacement.This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitters.limits to radio waves or radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the FCC of USA. Given in terms of a unit referred to as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is a measure of the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone, these limits are part of comprehensive guidelines adopted and consistent with recommendations by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough scientific evaluations. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons regardless of age and health.The FCC limit for public exposure from cellular telephones is an SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg) ave. over 1 gram of tissue. Tests are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power levels in all tested frequency bands. Thus, the actual operating SAR level can be well below the maximum value. This is because your phone is designed to use only minimum power required to reach the network. As a general rule, the closer you are to wireless base station antenna the lower the power output.SAR & RF Safety Information 5 Safety PrecautionsPlease read and remember the following safety precautions.
