93 SAR Data
Specific Absorption Rate Data
SAR Data This model wireless 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 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 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 the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/kg.

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, 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 0.43 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, is 0.76 W/kg. The SAR value for this
product in its data transmission mode (body-worn use) is
0.76 W/kg. (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. 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.
