the FCC. One of these
limits is expressed as
a Specifi c Absorption
Rate, or “SAR.” SAR is
a measure of the rate of
absorption of RF energy
in the body. Tests for
SAR are conducted with
the phone transmitting
at its highest power level
in all tested frequency
bands. Since 1996, the
FCC has required that
the SAR of handheld
wireless phones not
exceed 1.6 watts per
kilogram, averaged over
one gram of tissue.
Although the SAR
is determined at the
highest power level, the
actual SAR value of a
wireless phone while
operating can be less
than the reported SAR
value. This is because
the SAR value may
vary from call to call,
depending on factors
such as proximity to a
cell site, the proximity of
the phone to the body
while in use, and the use
of hands-free devices.
Before a phone model is
available for sale to the
public, it must be tested
and certifi ed 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 0.91 W/kg
and when worn on the
body, as described
