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 1.180 W/kg and when worn
on the body, as described in this
user’s manual, is 0.666 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
