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 0.714 W/kg and when worn on the body, as

Safety Guidelines

described in this user’s manual, is 0.482 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/fccid after searching on
FCC ID BEJG4011.

Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association
(CTIA) website at http://www.wow-com.com

*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.
