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 0.53 W/kg and when worn
on the body, as described in this user’s manual, is 1.18 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements
differ amongphone 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.
