Palm 650 - Manual (Page 314)

302 Section 5A: Safety
1. A Palm brand body-worn accessory that has been tested for SAR compliance and is
intended for use with this product.
2. An accessory that contains NO metal (snaps, clips, etc.) and provides AT LEAST 1.5 cm
of separation between the users body and the unit.
Do NOT use the device in a manner such that it is in direct contact with the body (i.e. on the
lap or in a breast pocket). Such use will likely exceed FCC RF safety exposure limits See
www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/
for more information on RF exposure safety.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head
of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation
process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at
their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone
can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of
factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other factors.
What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines.
Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of
safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones do not
mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are
considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported (FCC) SAR values of the Sprint PCS Vision SM Smart Device Treo™ 650, by
Palm are:
Maximum SAR Values CDMA Cellular CDMA PCS
Held to Ear 1.50 (W/Kg) 1.33 (W/Kg)
Body - Worn .999 (W/Kg) .667 (W/Kg)
