SAR INFORMATION
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 radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission 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 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted
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. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.3
W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide,
is 0.6W/Kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). 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 SAR testing for Body-worn operation was performed with a belt
clip that provided a 20mm separation. The User’s Manual indicates
that any holsters/clips used with this device should contain no metallic
components.
