Health and Safety Information 169
Acknowledging special precautions and Industry Canada
notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no 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 your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
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. But 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. SAR values at or below the federal
standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.
Maximum measured SAR values for the T589 are:
• GSM 850: Head 0.086 W/kg, Body-worn 0.372 W/kg
• GSM 1900: Head 0.200 W/kg, Body-worn 0.416 W/kg
• WCDMA 850: Head 0.121 W/kg, Body-worn 0.541 W/kg
• WCDMA 1900: Head 0.355 W/kg, Body-worn 0.821 W/kg
• WLAN: Head 0.045 W/kg, Body-worn 0.100 W/kg
