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 phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. Because the phone is
designed to operate at multiple power levels 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
(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 1.13 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.773 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ among
phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC/IC requirements). While there
may be differences between 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 RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is
on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC
ID BEJVX8500. 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 mobile phones used by the public 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.
