SAR Information Statement
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission 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 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
58
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
0.923W/Kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is
1.158W/Kg(Body-worn
measurements differ among phone 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. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RFexposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
