Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by the Canadian 
regulatory authorities. These limits are part of comprehensive 
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the 
general population. The guidelines are based on standards that 
were developed by independent scientific organizations through 
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The 
standards include a substantial safety margin designed for the 
safety of all persons, regardless of age or
health, and to account for any variations in measurements.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of 
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The 
SAR limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian regulatory 
authorities is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg), averaged over one 
gram of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using procedures 
accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the mobile 
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested 
frequencies. Although the SAR is determined at the highest 
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the mobile device 
while operating can be below the maximum value. This is because 
the mobile device is designed to operate at multiple power levels 
so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In 
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower 
the power output.
Before a mobile device is available for sale to the public in the U.S. 
and Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry 
Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by each 
government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in 
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) 
submitted to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada. 
The highest SAR value for this mobile device when tested for use 
at the ear is 1.17 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described 
in this guide, is 1.41 W/kg. Body-worn measurements can differ, 
depending upon available accessories and regulatory 
requirements. The SAR information includes the Motorola testing 
protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty 
range for this product.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various 
mobile devices and at various positions, they meet the 
governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that 
improvements to this product model could cause differences in the 
SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are designed to 
be within the guidelines.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular 
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site:

AGPS and Emergency Calls
When you make an emergency call, your mobile device can use 
Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) satellite signals to tell 
the emergency response center your approximate location.
