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 A3LSCHA670.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) 
can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry 
Association (CTIA) web-site at

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.

Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any 
health problems are associated with using wireless phones. 
There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are 
absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio 
frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being 
used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in stand-by 
mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects 
(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not 
produce heating effects causes no known adverse health 
effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not 
found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested 
that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have 
not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases,
