(Specific Absorption Rate)
This phone model 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 1.23 W/kg and when worn on the
body, as described in this user guide, is 0.848 W/kg (body-
worn 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.
