SAFETY
measurements differ among phone models, 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 for safe exposure.
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 O6Y-
PCS1450.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (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.

1. What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?
The term “wireless phone” refers here to handheld wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called “cell,”
“mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency
energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head. These RF exposures are
limited by Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA
and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is located at greater distances from the user, the
exposure to RF is drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance
from the source. The so-called "cordless phones," which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring
in a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposures well within the FCC's
compliance limits.
