Those standards 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.

T

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 the 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. This

is because the phone 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. 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.

While there may be differences between the 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

evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR

information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be

found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid

after searching on FCC ID IYGRNP2400. Additional information on

Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular

Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://

NOTE

In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones

used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram

of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety

to give additional protection for the public and to account for any

variations in measurements.
