Safety Guidelines
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 by the FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value for this model phone
when tested for use at the ear is 1.01 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this user’s manual, is
1.16 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.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model phone with all reported SAR levels
