Safety

Radiofrequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates

Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and

transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone, the system handling your

call controls the power level. This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in digital

mode.

Knowing Radiofrequency Safety

The design of your Treo 755

P smart device by Palm complies with updated NCRP standards

described below.

In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American

National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety

levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers

and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industries developed

this updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In

August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE

standard and the guidelines published by the National Council of Radiation Protection and

Measurements (NCRP).

Body-Worn Operation

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a handset on your

body, use the Sprint-supplied or -approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn

accessory. Use of non-Sprint-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Web site at www.fcc.gov

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for Wireless Phones

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.
