Reference information
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 (for example, at the ear and worn on
the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value
for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the
ear is 0.98 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 1.22 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure 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 QMNRH-17.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC
RF exposure guidelines for use with an enhancement that contains no
metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 5/8 inch (1.5 cm) from
the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body worn enhancement,
and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum
of 5/8 inch (1.5 cm) from your body when the phone is switched on.
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used
by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting
requirements and the network band. For SAR information in other regions
