TIA Safety Information
The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld phones.
Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific 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 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 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 values are:
* Head: 0.57 W/kg
* Body (Body-worn/Hotspot): 1.06 W/kg
(body measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements).
