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 with the phone 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 phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to r each 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 0.41 W/Kg and when worn on the body,
as described in this user guide, is 0.65 W/Kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). The maximum scaled SAR in hotspot mode is
0.66W/Kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. 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 a fter searching on
FCC ID: 2AKSAMOBULAA-NOTE Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at

public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of s a fety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
