RADIO WAVES:
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERN-MENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. 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. These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/Kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the mobile 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 mobile phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to operate at multi-ple 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 of the mobile phone. Before a mobile phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown. 
						

							47
The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested is 1.42 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.183 W/Kg for use close to the body.     
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various mobile phones and at various positions, they all meet the govern-ment requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the mobile phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://www.phonefacts.net
The World Health Organization (WHO) consid-ers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limit-ing the length of calls, or using “hands-free” 
devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193). Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the follow-ing website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf. 
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-ence in a residential installation. This equip-ment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio commu-nications. However, there is no guarantee that interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-   Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equip-ment and receiver. 
						

							4849
-   Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-   Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly ap-proved by the party responsible for compli-ance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a licensed radio service (e.g. FM broadcast), they bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1)   This device may not cause harmful inter-ference, and
(2)  This device must accept any interference received. Including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Your mobile phone is equipped with a built-in 
antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in positions other than against your ear. In such circumstances the device will be compliant with the guidelines when used with headset or usb data cable. If you are using another accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the mobile phone at least 1.5 cm away from the body.
