Safety
Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This model phone meets the government's requirements for exposure
to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to Radio Frequency (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 using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with
the phone 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 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 0.78W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.14 W/kg (bodyworn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC 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
