Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if 
you wear a handset on your body, use the Sprint PCS supplied 
or approved carrying case, holster or other body-worn 
accessory. If you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure that 
the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) from your 
body when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint PCS approved 
accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines. 
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC 
website at www.fcc.gov.
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 that 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. 
This wireless portable device has been shown to be capable of 
compliance for localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for 
uncontrolled environment/general population exposure limits 
specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1992 and has been tested in 
accordance with the measurement procedures specified in 
ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.3-1992.
