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 1.6W/kg.
* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC
with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although 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. Because
the phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels 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 exposure. 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 0.676 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this
user’s manual, is 0.722 W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phones models,
depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements.) While there may be
differences between SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/ after searching on FCC
ID BEJCF360.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR
limit for mobile phones used by the public
is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one
gram of tissue. The standard incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to
