at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This
is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does
not exceed the limit established by the government adopted
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
1.483 W/kg
and when worn
on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.19 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending
upon available accessories and FCC requirements). The maximum
scaled SAR in hotspot mode is
1.25 W/kg,
While there may be
differences between the 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
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information
on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID:
QRP-AZUMIKL35.
Additional information on
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at
http://www.wow-com.com. * In the United States and Canada, the
SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To
comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 10mm must be maintained between the user's body and
the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters,
and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any
metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet
these requirements may not comply with RF exposure
requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an
approved antenna.
