Consumer Information on SAR
(Specifi c 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 by the FCC for each model. The
highest SAR value for this model phone when
tested for use at the ear is 0.998 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this
user’s manual, is 1.20 W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phones 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.
