SAR
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 limits for exposure
to radiofrequency (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 accepted
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 it does not exceed the
limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations
(i.e., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is (see addenda) and when
worn on the body is (see addenda).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement. 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 htp://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID (see addenda).
(*) In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 Watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection
for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
