Specific Absorption Rate

Your MOTOROLA BRUTE wireless phone meets the
governmental requirements for exposure to radio waves.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured to not exceed limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government
and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. 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 for the safety of all persons,
regardless of age or health, and to account for any variations in
measurements.

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian
regulatory authorities is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg),
averaged over one gram of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted
using procedures accepted by the FCC and by Industry
Canada with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequencies. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the phone while operating can be 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, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the
U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC
and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit
established by each government for safe exposure. The tests
are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and
worn on the body) submitted to the FCC and available for
review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this
model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.59 W/kg, and
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.86 W/kg. Body-worn measurements can differ, depending
upon available accessories and regulatory requirements. The
SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol,
assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range
for this product.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they meet the
governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that
improvements to this product model could cause differences in
the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are
designed to be within the guidelines.
