The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.
VerizonA790 ver.2.book Page 190 Friday, April 2, 2004 1:54 PM FDA Consumer Update Do wireless phones pose a health hazard? The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in stand-by mode.

Other studies exposed the animals to RF for up to 22 hours per day. These conditions are not similar to the conditions under which people use wireless phones, so we don’t know with certainty what results of such studies mean for human health.
VerizonA790 ver.2.book Page 194 Friday, April 2, 2004 1:54 PM interval between the time of exposure to a cancer-causing agent and the time tumors develop - if they do - may be many, many years. The interpretation of epidemiological studies is hampered by difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure during day-to-day use of wireless phones. Many factors affect this measurement, such as the angle at which the phone is held, or which model of phone is used.
