Safety Precautions and Conditions of Use 125
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 0.697 W/kg and when worn on the body,
as described in this User Guide, is 0.612 W/kg. Body-
worn Operation; This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept
1.5 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with
FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that
maintain a 1.5 cm separation distance between the
user’s body and the back of the phone. The use of belt-
clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain
metallic components in its assembly.
The use of accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, and should be avoided. 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 FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
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/fccid after
searching on FCC ID APYHRO00046.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA)
web-site at http://www.phonefacts.net.
* 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.
