162 Section 4A: Important Safety Information
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 S1 (SCP-2500) are:
Cellular CDMA mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.48 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.616 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.46 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.367 W/kg
FCC Radio Frequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines.
