Implantable Medical Devices
If you have an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or
defibrillator, consult your physician before using this mobile device.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the
following precautions:
•
ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimeters
(8 inches) from the implantable medical device when the mobile
device is turned ON.
•
DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimize
the potential for interference.
•
Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your
implantable medical device. If you have any questions about using your
mobile device with your implantable medical device, consult your
healthcare provider.
Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)
SAR (IEEE)
Your model wireless phone meets the governmental
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured to not exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of
the U.S. Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. These
limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed for
the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health, and to account
for any variations in measurements.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The IEEE
SAR limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is
1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg), averaged over one gram of tissue. Tests
for SAR are conducted using procedures accepted by the FCC and by
Industry Canada with the mobile device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequencies. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of
the mobile device while operating can be below the maximum value.
This is because the mobile device 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, the
lower the power output.
Before a mobile device is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and
Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry Canada
that it does not exceed the limit established by each government for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g.,
at the ear and worn on the body) submitted to the FCC and available
for review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this mobile
device when tested for use at the ear is 1.59 W/kg, and when worn on
the body, as described in this guide, is 0.53 W/kg. The SAR value for
this mobile device in its data transmission mode (body-worn use) is
0.26 W/kg. Body-worn measurements can differ, depending upon
available accessories and regulatory requirements. The SAR
information includes the Motorola testing protocol, assessment
procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
mobile devices and at various positions, they meet the governmental
requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to this
product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later
products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the
guidelines.
