guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation; if this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient/relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning: At very high volumes, prolonged listening to a headset can damage your
hearing.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed
in 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. However, 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 SCH-u440 are:
CMDA mode (Part 22)
Head: 1.21 W/Kg : Body-worn: 0.689 W/Kg
PCS mode (Part 24)
PCS: Head: 1.13 W/Kg : Body-worn: 0.468 W/Kg
