Certification information (SAR)

Your phone is designed not to exceed the limits of emission of radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health. SAR (specific absorption rate) is the unit of body-absorbed RF quantity when the phone is in use. SAR value is ascertained according to the highest RF level generated during laboratory tests. The true SAR level during phone usage will be far lower than this level. The SAR value of the phone may change depending on factors such as how close you are to a network tower, use of accessories and other enhancements. The highest SAR value of the device is 1.117W/kg (head) and 1.122 W/kg (body) averaged over 1 gm of human tissue. The SAR value may differ depending on national reporting, testing requirements and the network band.
SAR recommendations Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a low power Bluetooth emitter.

Please keep your calls short and use SMS whenever more convenient. This advice applies especially to children, adolescents and pregnant women. Try to use your cell phone when the signal quality is good. People having active medical implants should preferably keep the cell phone at least 10 cm away from the implant. Maintain a preferable distance of 10 mm from the device.
Safe driving Do not use the phone while driving. When you have to use the phone, please use the personal hands-free kit. Please do not put the phone onto any passenger seat or any place from which it may fall down in case of vehicular collision or emergency braking.
During flight Flight is influenced by interference caused by the phone. It is illegal to use a phone on the airplane. Please turn off your phone or switch to flight mode during a flight.

In hospitals Your phone’s radio waves may interfere with the functioning of medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine whether they are adequately shielded from external radio frequency. Switch off your device when regulations instruct you to do so. Do not carry the wireless device in the breast pocket. Turn off the phone if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

FCC Rules Compliance (United States Federal Communications Commission) This Smartphone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This Smartphone 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 interference in a residential installation. This equipment 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 communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment 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 equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuitdifferent from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user,,s authority to operate the equipment. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
RF Exposure Information (SAR) This Smartphone meets the governments requirements for exposure to radio waves. This Smartphone 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. The exposure standard for wireless Smartphone employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg – Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the Smartphone 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
19 / 20

can be well below the maximum value. This is because the Smartphone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for the Smartphone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is (Body-worn measurements differ among Smartphone, 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. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this Smartphone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
SAR information on this Smartphone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching. For body worn operation, this Smartphone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the Smartphone a minimum of 1.0cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the Smartphone at the ear, position the Smartphone a minimum of 10mm from your body when the Smartphone is switched on.
