Safety
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 this
model phone when tested for
use at the ear is 1.13 W/kg and
