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 i600 are:
Head: 1.09 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.08 W/kg
