Specific Absorption Rate Data
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 limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission for the United States and by
Health Canada for Canada. 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 or 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 and by Health Canada is 1.6 W/kg. 1
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada 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
operating 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 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)
reported 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 0.62 W/kg,
2 and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.64 W/kg. 2 (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and regulatory requirements). While there
may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the governmental
requirements for safe exposure.
The FCC and Industry Canada have granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as being in compliance with the FCC and Health
Canada RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of:

1. 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.

protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty
range for this product.
