FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR):

This device 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 United States.

During SAR testing, this is set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage near the body with the separation of 1.0 cm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the 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 antenna, the lower the power output.

The exposure standard for wireless s employs a unit of measurement known as the

Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the

FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.

SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of HYPERLINK "http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid" www.fcc.

gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: RAD451.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage near the body is:

Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded.

ONE TOUCH P310A (Body-worn) 1.45 W/kg

SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation distance of 1.0 cm between the device and the human body. During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.

8

Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 1.0 cm.

To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should be positioned at least this distance away from the body.

If you are not using an approved accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the device the indicated distance away from the body.

Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug

Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the head or body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent on the device.
