APPENDIX
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 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted
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 power required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the
ear is 1.05W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.8W/Kg. (Body-
worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories 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 for safe exposure.
The SAR testing for Body-worn operation was performed with a belt clip that provided a 20mm
separation. The User’s Manual indicates that any holsters/clips used with this device should contain no
metallic components.
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/ea after searching on JYCAPACHE.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.ctia.org.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
