FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING ! Read this information 
before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal 
Communications Commission 
(FCC) of the United States, 
with its action in Report and 
Order FCC 96-326, adopted an 
updated safety standard for human 
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) 
electromagnetic energy emitted 
by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent 
with the safety standard previously 
set by both U.S. and international 
standards bodies. The design of 
this phone complies with the FCC 
guidelines and these international 
standards.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for 
typical body-worn operations 
with the back of the phone kept 
0.59inches (1.5cm) between the 
user's body and the back of the 
phone. To comply with FCC RF 
exposure requirements, a minimum 
separation distance of 0.59 inches 
(1.5cm) must be maintained 
between the user's body and the 
back of the phone. Any belt-clips, 
holsters, and similar accessories 
containing metallic components 
may not be used. Body-worn 
accessories that cannot maintain 
0.59 inches (1.5cm) separation 
distance between the user's body 
and the back of the phone, and 
have not been tested for typical 
body-worn operations may not 
comply with FCC RF exposure 
limits and should be avoided.

Consumer Information 
About Radio Frequency 
Emissions
Your wireless phone, which 
contains a radio transmitter and 
receiver, emits radio frequency 
energy during use. The following 
consumer information addresses 
commonly asked questions 
about the health effects of 
wireless phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject 
of wireless phones and radio 
frequency (“RF”) energy has 
been conducted worldwide for 
many years, and continues. In 
the United States, the Food and 
Drug Administration (“FDA”) 
and the Federal Communications 
Commission (“FCC”) set policies 
and procedures for wireless 
phones. The FDA issued a website 
publication on health issues related 
to cell phone usage where it states, 
“The scientific community at 
large … believes that the weight 
of scientific evidence does not  show an association between 
exposure to radiofrequency 
(RF) from cell phones and 
adverse health outcomes. Still 
the scientific community does 
recommend conducting additional 
research to address gaps in 
knowledge. That research is being 
conducted around the world 
and FDA continues to monitor 
developments in this field. You can 
access the joint FDA/FCC website 
at http://www.fda.gov (under 
“c”in the subject index, select Cell 
Phones > Research). You can also 
contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 
463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. 
In June 2000, the FDA entered 
into a cooperative research and 
development agreement through 
which additional scientific research 
is being conducted. The FCC 
issued its own website publication 
stating that “there is no scientific 
evidence that proves that wireless 
phone usage can lead to cancer 
or a variety of other problems, 
including headaches, dizziness or 
memory loss.” This publication is 
available at http://www.fcc.gov/
cgb/ cellular.html or through the 
FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) 
CALL-FCC. 
						

							  85
What does “SAR” mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with 
the FDA, the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, and other 
agencies, established RF 
exposure safety guidelines for 
wireless phones in the United 
States. Before a wireless phone 
model is available for sale to the 
public, it must be tested by the 
manufacturer and certified to 
the FCC that it does not exceed 
limits established by the FCC. 
One of these limits is expressed 
as a Specific Absorption Rate, or 
“SAR.” SAR is a measure of the rate 
of absorption of RF energy in the 
body. Tests for SAR are conducted 
with the phone transmitting at its 
highest power level in all tested 
frequency bands. Since 1996, the 
FCC has required that the SAR 
of handheld wireless phones not 
exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, 
averaged over one gram of tissue. 
Although the SAR is determined at 
the highest power level, the actual 
SAR value of a wireless phone 
while operating can be less than 
the reported SAR value. This is 
because the SAR value may vary 
from call to call, depending on 
factors such as proximity to a cell 
site, the proximity of the phone to the body while in use, and the 
use of hands-free devices. For 
more information about SARs, 
see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 
and 65 at http://www.fcc.gov/
Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/
Documents/bulletins or visit the 
Cellular Telecommunications 
Industry Association website at 
http://www.ctia.org/consumer_
info/index.cfm/AID/10371. You 
may also wish to contact the 
manufacturer of your phone.
Can I minimize my RF exposure? 
If you are concerned about RF, 
there are several simple steps 
you can take to minimize your 
RF exposure. You can, of course, 
reduce your talk time. You can 
place more distance between your 
body and the source of the RF, 
as the exposure level drops off 
dramatically with distance. The 
FDA/FCC website states that 
“hands-free kits can be used with 
wireless phones for convenience 
and comfort. These systems reduce 
the absorption of RF energy in the 
head because the phone, which is 
the source of the RF emissions, will 
not be placed against the head. 
On the other hand, if the phone is 
mounted against the waist or other  
						

							Safety
86   
part of the body during use, then 
that part of the body will absorb 
more RF energy. Wireless phones 
marketed in the U.S. are required 
to meet safety requirements 
regardless of whether they are 
used against the head or against 
the body. Either configuration 
should result in compliance with 
the safety limit.” Also, if you use 
your wireless phone while in a 
car, you can use a phone with an 
antenna on the outside of the 
vehicle. You should also read 
and follow your wireless phone 
manufacturer’s instructions for the 
safe operation of your phone.
Do wireless phones pose any 
special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that 
“the scientific evidence does not 
show a danger to users of wireless 
communication devices, including 
children.” The FDA/FCC website 
further states that “some groups 
sponsored by other national 
governments have advised that 
children be discouraged from 
using wireless phones at all”. For 
example, the Stewart Report from 
the United Kingdom [“UK”] 
made such a recommendation in 
December 2000. In this report 
a group of independent experts  noted that no evidence exists that 
using a cell phone causes brain 
tumors or other ill effects. [The 
UK’s]
 recommendation to limit 
cell phone use by children was 
strictly precautionary; it was not 
based on scientific evidence that 
any health hazard exists. A copy 
of the UK’s leaflet is available at 
http://www.dh.gov.uk (search 
“mobile”), or you can write to: 
NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 
ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies of 
the UK’s annual reports on mobile 
phones and RF are available online 
at www.iegmp.org.uk and http://
www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search 
“mobile”). Parents who wish to 
reduce their children’s RF exposure 
may choose to restrict their 
children’s wireless phone use.

information about RF emissions?

Consumer Information on 
SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
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 Radio Frequency 
(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 
using standard operating positions 
specified by the FCC with the 
phone transmitting at its highest 
certified power level in all tested 
frequency bands. Although 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. 
Because the phone is designed to 
operate at multiple power levels 
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)
