Section 12: Maintenance, Safety, and

Troubleshooting

c) SAR Information

THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless mobile CDMA 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 the
safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies:

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.11992

National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement

(NCRP). Report 86. 1986

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

(ICNIRP) 1996

Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. 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 CDMA phone employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg*. For body worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal
and that position the antenna of the CDMA phone a minimum of
1.5cm from the body. The SAR values of this CDMA phone are 1.3
W/g (body) and 0.122 W/g (head). Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
device 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:

NM8 HARRIER. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates
(SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet
Association (CTIA) web-site as
