128 Safety Precautions and Conditions of Use
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 0.355 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 0.426 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 APYHRO00041.
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.
