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 radiofrequency
(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
