Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR     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
verykool™ i280 User Manual    110   2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.   This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. 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. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.   The exposure standard for this phone employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limits set by the FCC are 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted 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
verykool™ i280 User Manual    111   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, the lower the output power. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certified by the FCC that it does not exceed the limits established by each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) that conform to a uniform testing methodology determined by an expert standards body and then reported to the FCC. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all met the governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could generate differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines. The highest SAR value for this i280 model phone when tested for use on the Right cheek were 0.694 mW/g.
verykool™ i280 User Manual    112    For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the handset.  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: z Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. z Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. z Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
