the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were
developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after
extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human
body extouched in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply
with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations
in measurements.
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.
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept 0.79 inches
(2.0 cm) between the user’s body and the back of the phone. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must be maintained between the
user's body and the back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories
containing metallic components should not be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.79
inches (2.0 cm) separation distance between the user's body and the back of the phone, and have not
been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should
be avoided.
