Consumer Information on SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the Government’s Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) 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 standards
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 1.6W/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 1.050 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user’s manual, is 0.744 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/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID BEJCT810.
