value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to call, depending
on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the phone to the
body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices. 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
1.16 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.29
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 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/ea/
fccid/ after searching on FCC ID ZNFMS659.
For more information about SARs, see the FCC’s OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at
http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins or
visit the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association website at http://

the manufacturer of your phone.
Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take
to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time. You
can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website
states that “hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience
and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head
because the phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed
against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist
or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more
