requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g., at
the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model phone
when tested for use at the ear is 0.91 W/kg
and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 0.54 W/kg (body-worn
measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between
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 compli-
ance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
SAR information on this model phone is on
fi le with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.
gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on GS170.
For more information about SARs, see the
FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at http://www.
fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technol-
ogy/Documents/bulletins or visit the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association website at http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/

contact the manufacturer of your phone.
Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are
several simple steps you can take to minimize
your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce
your talk time. You can place more distance
between your body and the source of the RF,
as the exposure level drops off dramatically
with distance. The FDA/FCC website states
that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless
phones for convenience and comfort. These
systems reduce the absorption of RF energy
in the head because the phone, which is the
source of the RF emissions, will not be placed
against the head. On the other hand, if the
phone is mounted against the waist or other
part of the body during use, then that part of
the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless
phones marketed in the U.S. are required
to meet safety requirements regardless of
whether they are used against the head or
against the body. Either confi guration should
result in compliance with the safety limit.”
Also, if you use your wireless phone while in
a car, you can use a phone with an antenna
on the outside of the vehicle. You should
