ALL MODELS WITH FCC-ID AZ489FT5856 MEET 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 1.6W/kg.

Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions reviewed by the FCC
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 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 is does not exceed the limit
established by the requirement adopted by the government 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 head: 1.54 W/kg and when tested on the
body: is 1.38 W/kg. (Measurements for phones worn on the body
differ among models, depending upon available accessories 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 for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to
this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for
later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the
guidelines.
