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
(FCC) 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 1.6W/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
