What does “SAR” mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure safety
guidelines for wireless devices in the United States. Before a wireless
device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the
manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits
established by the FCC. One of these limits is expressed as a Specific
Absorption Rate, or “SAR”. SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption
of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the device
transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since
1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld wireless device not
exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual
SAR value of a wireless device while operating can be less than the
reported SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to
call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity
of the device to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices.
Before a device 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 FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.
fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID ZNFV521.
