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.
