Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification Information
Your wireless mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations:
the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific
and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of
the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF
energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the mobile
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the mobile device
while operating can be well below the maximum reported value. This is because the mobile device
is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as 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 of the mobile device.
Before a new model mobile device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified
to the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model mobile
device are performed in positions and locations (e.g. near the body) as required by the FCC.
For typical operations, this mobile device has been tested and meets FCC SAR guidelines.
