Consumer Information on SAR
This wireless device meets the Government’s Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves. Your wireless device 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 (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These
FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both
cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government,
and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy. The
exposure limit for wireless device employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram
(W/kg). The FCC requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg) when such
wireless devices are used by the public next to the mouth, and a safety limit of 4.0 watts per kilogram (4.0 W/kg) when
such wireless devices are worn on the wrist. The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the wireless device transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of
the wireless device while operating can be well below the maximum value. Because the wireless device is designed to
operate at multiple power levels to use only the power required to reach the network, generally, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a wireless device 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., next to the mouth and worn on
the wrist ) as required by the FCC for each model. This device was tested for typical calling operations with the front of
the wireless device kept 10mm from the user’s mouth.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
The highest SAR value for this model device when tested for use next to the mouth is 1.47 W/kg and when worn on the
wrist, as described in this user’s manual, is 1.23 W/kg. While there may be differences between SAR levels of various
wireless devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID.
To find information that pertains to a particular model wireless device, this site uses the wireless device FCC ID number
which is printed somewhere on the back of the wireless device. Once you have the FCC ID number for your wireless
device, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for that wireless
device.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/.
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for wireless devices used by the public next to the mouth is 1.6 watts/kg
(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.
