Specific Absorption Rates (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.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and
calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All
phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But
when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level
reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to
a base station antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to
remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do
not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial
margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model
phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard
of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the
CDM-8920 are:
AMPS mode (Part 22):
Head:
1.050
W/kg; Body-worn:
0.422
W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.190W/kg;Body-worn: 0.319W/kg
