SAR Information
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIRE-
MENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is de-
signed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for ex-
posure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Commu-
nications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on stan-
dards that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are con-
ducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is be-
cause the phone 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 antenna, the lower the
power output.
Before a phone model 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 expo-
sure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the
ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at
the ear is 1.35 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 0.64 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for safe exposure.
