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 handhelds employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions specified by the
FCC/IC with the handheld transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level
of the handheld while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the handheld is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as 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 wireless handheld model is available for sale to the public,
it must be tested and certified to the FCC/IC 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., worn on the body) as required by the FCC/IC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model handheld when tested for use
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.25
W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among wireless handheld
and phone models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC/IC requirements). While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various wireless devices and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
handheld with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this
model handheld 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 L6AR1900G-1-4.
