SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) INFORMATION:
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
• ANSI C95.1 (1992) American National Standards Institute
• NCRP - Report 86 (1986) National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
• ICNIRP (1996) International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection;
• DHWC - Safety Code 6 Department of Health and Welfare Canada
Those standards 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. 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 1.6W/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 the 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. 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. 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 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 IYGSNP2400. Additional information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at

The only authorized headsets that may be utilized with the NetLink e340 Wireless Telephones are those obtainable
from SpectraLink or it’s reseller partners.
The measured SAR of the NetLink e340 Wireless Telephone is
0.0495W/kG @ 2412 Mhz (head) and 0.0309W/kG @ 2412 Mhz (body).
Phone Operation Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone, with
the earpiece to your ear and speak into the microphone. The internal antenna is then positioned
properly.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY:
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately
shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio product in any facility where
posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to
external RF energy.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers:
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches
(15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio product and a pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research. Persons with
pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the radio product more than 6 inches (15 cm) from their pacemaker when the radio product is
turned ON.
• Not carry the radio product in a breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn the radio product OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

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.
