Section 8A: Important Safety Information
RF Safety Exposure
General statement on RF energy: Your smartphone contains a transmitter and a receiver. 
When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your 
smartphone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your smartphone 
transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR): Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is 
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international 
guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization 
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, 
regardless of age and health.
In order to certify this unit for sale to the public, this unit has been tested for RF exposure 
compliance at a qualified test laboratory and found to comply with the regulations regarding 
exposure to RF Energy under the recommendations of the International Commission on 
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are performed in positions and 
locations as required by the FCC and IC for each model. 
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this 
device while operating is typically below that indicated below. This is due to automatic 
changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum power required 
to communicate with the network.
The SAR limit for mobile devices set by FCC/IC is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of tissue for 
the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities—hands, 
wrists, ankles, and feet). 
The highest reported SAR values of the Palm smartphone are:
Maximum Scaled SAR Values (FCC)
Head
1.4 W/kg
Body
1.29 W/kg
