rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for
SAR are conducted with the device transmitting at
its highest power level in all tested frequency bands.
Since 1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of
handheld wireless devices not exceed 1.6 watts per
kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue. Although
the SAR is determined at the highest power level,
the actual SAR value of a wireless device while
operating can be less than the reported SAR value.
This is because the SAR value may vary from call
to call, depending on factors such as proximity to a
cell site, the proximity of the device to the body while
in use, and the use of hands-free devices. Before
a 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., at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for
each model.
The highest SAR value for this device when worn on
the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.05 W/kg.
While there may be differences between SAR levels
of various devices and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
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. 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 BEJV909. For
more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET

Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several
simple steps you can take to minimize your RF
exposure. You can, of course, reduce your use time.
You can place more distance between your body and
the source of the RF, as the exposure level drops
off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website
states that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless
devices for convenience and comfort. On the other
hand, if the device is mounted against the waist or
other part of the body during use, then that part
of the body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless
devices marketed in the U.S. are required to meet
safety requirements regardless of whether they are
used against the head or against the body. Either
configuration should result in compliance with the
safety limit.”
Do wireless devices pose any special risks to
children?
The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific
evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless
communication devices, including children.” The
FDA/FCC website further states that “some groups
sponsored by other national governments have
advised that children be discouraged from using
wireless devices at all”. For example, the Stewart
Report from the United Kingdom [“UK”] made such a
recommendation in December 2000. In this report a
