The selected product C331 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 limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by Health Canada for
Canada. 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 or 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 and by- Health Canada is 1.6W/kg.

Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by
the FCC and by Industry Canada 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,
the lower the power output.
