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 U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless devices 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 accepted by the FCC with the device 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 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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Important: Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirements. 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 http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on the FCC ID described below. For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with accessories that contain no metal and that position the handset a minimum of 0 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the device at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 0 cm from your body when the device is switched on. Certificate Information (SAR) This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection. The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientific organizations through regular and thorough evaluations of scientific studies. To guarantee the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, the limits include a significant safety buffer. 78 Before radio devices can be put in circulation, their agreement with European laws or limits must be confirmed; only then may the CE symbol be applied. The unit of measurement for the European Council's recommended limit for mobile devices is the "Specific Absorption Rate" (SAR). This SAR limit is 2.0 W/

kg, averaged over 10 g of body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The maximum SAR value is calculated at the highest output level in all frequency bands of the mobile device. For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNIRP exposure guidelines and was included in the European Standard EN 62311 and EN 62209-2 for use with accessories that contain no metal and that position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with ICNIRP exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-

worn accessory and are not holding the device at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the device is switched on. During use, the actual SAR level is usually much lower than the maximum value, because the mobile device works in different output levels. It only transmits with as much output as is required to reach the network. In general the following applies: The closer you are to a base station, the lower the transmission output of your mobile device. Model A501 CE Body 0.453 W/kg FCC Body
