Certification information (SAR)
This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves as set forth by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Refer to the following.

FCC RF Exposure Information

• Your handset 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. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organization 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 handsets 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. 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 handset as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.41 W/kg, and when worn on the body in a holder or carry case, is 1.41 W/kg.
  Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the handset kept 1.0 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories

• that maintain a 1.0 cm separation distance between the user’s body and the handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handset with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model handset is on file with the FCC and can be found under the FCC ID Search section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on FCC ID 2AJOTTA-1590.

• Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/general/radio-frequency-safety-0.

• To send data or messages, a good connection to the network is needed. Sending may be delayed until such a connection is available. Follow the separation distance instructions until the sending is finished.

• During general use, the SAR values are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output, the lower the SAR value.

• Device models may have different versions and more than one value.

• Component and design changes may occur over time and some changes could affect SAR values.

• For more info, go to www.sar-tick.com. Note that mobile devices may be transmitting even if you are not making a voice call.

• Your mobile device is also designed to meet the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines. FCC ratings for your device and more information on SAR can be found at http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html.

• The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that current scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions when using mobile devices. If you are interested in reducing your exposure, they recommend you limit your usage or use a hands-free kit to keep the device away from your head and body.

• For more information and explanations and discussions on RF exposure, go to the WHO website at www.who.int/peh-emf/en.
