• CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)
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
1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted
by the FCC with the 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 phone while operating can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the phone 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.
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 (for
example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for
use at the ear is 1.16 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide,
is 0.74 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available enhancements 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 model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID QURNHL-12X.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines for use with a carry case, belt clip, or holder that contains no metal and
that positions the handset a minimum of 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) from the body. Use of
other carry cases, belt clips, or holders may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding
the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) from
your body when the phone is switched on.
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary
depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. For SAR
