Measurements (NCRP).
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines, always use an
appropriate accessory if using the phone
for body worn operations. Accessories used
with this phone for body-worn operations
must not contain any metallic components
and must provide at least 0.59 inches (1.5
centimeters) separation distance between
the user’s body and the phone, including
antennas. Body worn accessories that do
not meet these requirements may not
comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure,
visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
for Wireless Phones
The SAR value corresponds to the relative
amount of RF energy absorbed into 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 SAR values of the
Hydro LIFE are:
Head: 1.02 W/kg
Body-worn: 0.69W/kg
Hotspot: 0.82 W/kg
Phone models may have different versions
and more than one value. Changes in
design or components may occur over time
and some changes could affect SAR values.
