5. SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATES (SAR)  
Maximum: SAR 1.19 W/kg CDMA835 Body  
SAR 0.854 W/kg PCS1900 Body  
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS  
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.  
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and  
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF)  
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission 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 and health. 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  
when worn on the body , as described in this user guide, is 1.19 W/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 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  
on FCC ID: PP4PX-600.  
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the  
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at  
* 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 sub-  
stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any  
variations in measurements.
