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
governmentadopted 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 1.04 W/kg
and when worn on the body, as
described in this user’s manual,
is 0.56 W/kg.
(Body-worn measurements
differ among phones models,
depending upon available
accessories and FCC/IC
requirements.) While there may
be differences between SAR
levels of various phones and at
