Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the device kept 0.39
inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) must
be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the device. Any
belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components
may not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot maintain 0.39
inches (1.0 cm) distance between the user’s body and the back of the
device and have not been tested for compliance with FCC RF exposure
limits.
Consumer Information about Radio Frequency
Emissions
Your wireless device, which contains a radio transmitter and receiver,
emits radio frequency energy during use. The following consumer
information addresses commonly asked questions about the health
effects of wireless devices.
Are wireless devices safe?
Scientific research on the subject of wireless devices and radio frequency
(“RF”) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and
continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)
and the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) set policies and
procedures for wireless devices. The FDA issued a website publication on
health issues related to cell phone usage where it states, “The scientific
community at large… believes that the weight of scientific evidence does
not show an association between exposure to radiofrequency (RF) from cell
phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community does
recommend conducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge.”
That research is being conducted around the world and FDA continues to
monitor developments in this field. You can access the joint FDA/FCC
website at http://www.fda.gov (under “c” in the subject index, select Cell
Phones > Research). You can also contact the FDA toll-free at (888) 463-
6332 or (888) INFO-FDA.
