FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the 
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted 
an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) 
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those 
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. 
and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with 
the FCC guidelines and these international standards.

Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept 0.39 
inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, 
a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) must be maintained 
between the user’s body and the back of the phone.
Any belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic 
components may not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot 
maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) distance between the user’s body and the back 
of the phone and have not been tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure 
limits.
Caution
Use only the supplied antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas (or 
modifications to the antenna) could impair call quality, damage the phone, void 
your warranty and/or violate FCC regulations.
Don't use the phone with a damaged antenna. A damaged antenna could 
cause a minor skin burn. Contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna.
Consumer Information About Radio Frequency 
Emissions
Your wireless phone, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver, 
emits radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer 
information addresses commonly asked questions about the health 
effects of wireless phones.  
						

							For Your Safety144
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless phones and radio frequency 
(“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues. 
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the 
Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and procedures 
for wireless phones. The FDA issued a website publication on health issues 
related to cell phone usage where it states, “The scientific community at large 
… believes that the weight of scientific evidence does not show an association 
between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from cell phones and adverse 
health outcomes. Still the scientific community does recommend conducting 
additional research to address gaps in knowledge. That research is being 
conducted around the world and FDA continues to monitor developments in 
this field. You can access the joint FDA/FCC website at 
http://www.fda.gov 
(under “c”in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research). You can 
also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-FDA. In 
June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and development 
agreement through which additional scientific research is being conducted. 
The FCC issued its own website publication stating that “there is no scientific 
evidence that proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or a variety 
of other problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss.” This 
publication is available at 
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html or through the 
FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.
What does “SAR” mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for 
wireless phones in the United States. Before a wireless phone model is 
available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and 
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC. 
One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.” SAR 
is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR 
are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest power level in all 
tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of 
handheld wireless phones not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over 
one gram of tissue. Although the SAR is determined at the highest power 
level, the actual SAR value of a wireless phone while operating can be less 
than the reported SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from 
call to call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity 
of the phone to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices.   
						

							For Your Safety145
For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and 65 
at http://ww.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins 
or visit the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association website at 
http://www.ctia.org/consumer_info/index.cfm/AID/10371. You may also wish 
to contact the manufacturer of your phone.
Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take to 
minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time.
You can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, as 
the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website 
states that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience 
and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head 
because the phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed 
against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the 
waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will 
absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to 
meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the 
head or against the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with 
the safety limit.” Also, if you use your wireless phone while in a car, you can 
use a phone with an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also 
read and follow your wireless phone manufacturer’s instructions for the safe 
operation of your phone.  
						

							For Your Safety146
Do wireless phones pose any special risks to children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show a 
danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.” The 
FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by other 
national governments have advised that children be discouraged from 
using wireless phones at all”. For example, the Stewart Report from the 
United Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation in December 2000. 
In this report a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists 
that using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. [The UK’s] 
recommendation to limit cell phone use by children was strictly precautionary; 
it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. A copy of 
the UK’s leaflet is available at 
http://www.dh.gov.uk (search “mobile”), or you 
can write to: NRPB, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon OX11 ORQ, United Kingdom. Copies 
of the UK’s annual reports on mobile phones and RF are available online at 
www.iegmp.org.uk and http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/ (search “mobile”). 
Parents who wish to reduce their children’s RF exposure may choose to 
restrict their children’s wireless phone use.
Where can I get further information about RF emissions?

Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This model phone meets the government's requirements for exposure to 
radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is 
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to 
Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission 
of the U.S. Government. 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 to assure 
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.  
						

							For Your Safety149
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of 
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit 
set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard 
operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its 
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is 
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the 
phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. Because the 
phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels 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 values are:
* Head: 1.15 W/kg
* Body (Body-worn/Hotspot): 1.15 W/kg
(Body measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available 
accessories and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between 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 emission 
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 ZNFH830. Additional information on Specific 
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications 
Industry Association (CTIA) website at 
http://www.ctia.org/.
* 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 substantial margin of safety to give additional 
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) 
Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report 
and Order in WT Docket 01-309 modified the exception of wireless phones 
under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital 
wireless phones be compatible with hearingaids. The intent of the HAC Act 
is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons 
with hearing disabilities. While some wireless phones are used near some 
hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a 
buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune 
than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of 
interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless 
phones, to assist hearing device users to find phones that may be compatible 
with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are 
rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user's 
hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be 
vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone 
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to 
evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely 
to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not 
labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 
or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to 
hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. T4 is the better/ higher of 
the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or 
hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean 
that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing 
aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together.
