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 of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using
User manual S226
16
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 the 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 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 1.400 W/kg and when worn on the body,
as described in this user guide, is 0.830 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
User manual S226
17
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-GS226
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 not 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.
