Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR Your PC Card is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver (transceiver). When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio frequency fields). Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in measurements. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is because the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network. Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson PC Cards are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines. Before a PC Card is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations as required by the FCC for each model. For body worn operation, this PC Card has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines for fixed and mobile use when the PC Card is installed in a PCMCIA card slot of a standard Laptop PC with the original antenna. Sony Ericsson has not measured, and makes no representation about, the body worn SAR levels when the PC Card is used in any portable host equipment or when any changes to the original product has been made. More information on radio frequency exposure and SAR can be found on: www.SonyEricsson.com. Personal Medical Devices PC Card may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other implanted equipment. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between the GC89 and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn off your GC89. Contact your cardiologist for more information. For other medical devices, please consult the manufacturer of the device. Children DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR GC89 OR ITS ANTENNA. THEY COULD HURT THEMSELVES OR OTHERS, OR COULD ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE GC89 OR ANTENNA. YOUR GC89 OR ITS ANTENNA MAY CONTAIN SMALL PARTS THAT COULD BE DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING HAZARD. Disposing of the Product Your GC89 should not be placed in municipal waste. Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
