Consumer Information on SAR (Specifi c 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 LG IQ
TM/MC
phone when tested for use at the
ear is 0.64 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user’s manual, is 0.87 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
positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model phone
is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID: BEJGW825.
