Safety Guidelines
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 1.6 W/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
