Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones

The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.

The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how
much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the
level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors
including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design
and other factors. What is important to remember is that each
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not
represent a variation in safety.

All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR
values between different model phones do not mean variations
in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/
kg are considered safe for use by the public.

The highest reported SAR values of the VGA1000 are:

AMPS mode (Part 22) - Head: 1.48 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.90 W/kg

PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: 1.26 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.10 W/kg
