Section 1: Health and Safety Information
This section outlines the safety precautions
associated with using your device. The terms
“device” or “mobile device” are used in this
section to refer to your device.
Read this
information before using your mobile device.
Caution! Exercise care when using the card
removal tool to eject an internal card
slot.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certification Information
Your wireless mobile device is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the exposure limits for Radio
Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government.
These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from
the recommendations of two expert
organizations: the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were
developed by scientific and engineering experts
drawn from industry, government, and academia
after extensive reviews of the scientific literature
related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless
mobile devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of
RF energy by the human body expressed in units
of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of
1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection to
the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
mobile device 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 device while operating can be well below
the maximum reported value. This is because
the mobile device 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 of the
mobile device.
