Product Safety and Security

The exposure standard for these devices references a unit of measure known as SAR. The limit as set by the

FCC is 1.6W/kg. The tests for this emission level is done in an independent laboratory who employs test

methods and operating positions reviewed by the FCC and other agencies.

Before the phone was placed on the market, the product was tested and certified in accordance with the FCC

regulations to verify that the product did not exceed the FCC SAR requirements.

Additional information on SAR and RF Exposure can be obtained off the FCC website at:

oet/rfsafety

There is no conclusive proof that these mobile phones are or are not a health risk. The FDA and numerous

researchers are continuing studies of RF radiation and health issues. Additional information on this subject

can be obtained from the FDA web site at:

A recent Swedish study concluded that there is no link between the RF energy emitted from mobile phones

and cancer. For more information, refer to the article written by John Boice and Joseph McLaughlin entitled

"Epidemiological Studies of Cellular Telephones and Cancer Risk."

The Cisco Wireless IP Phone 882x Series operates at power levels that are 5 to 6 times lower than most

standard cellular, Personal Communications Service (PCS), or Global System for Mobile Communication

(GSM) phones. This lower power coupled with a lower transmitter duty cycle reduces the user's exposure to

the RF fields.

There are several suggested methods to reduce exposure for the user. Among those include:

1 Using a hands-free handset to increase the distance between the antenna and the head of the user.

2 Orienting the antenna away from the user.
