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 the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while operation 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
0.982mW/g and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 1.11mW/g (Body-worn measurements
may 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 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
A3LSGHR225.

Health and Safety Information

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

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 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 the safety standards previously set by both
U.S. and international standards bodies:

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)

IEEE. C95.1-1992

• National Council on Radiation Protection and

Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986

• International Commission on Non-Ionizing

Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996

• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6.

The standards include a substantial safety margind
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 *.

*In the U.S. 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.
