SAR (CF62T)

RF EXPOSURE/SPECIFIC ABSORPTION

RATE (SAR) INFORMATION
THIS SIEMENS CF62T PHONE MEETS

THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIRE-

MENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO ELECTRO-

MAGNETIC FIELDS.
Your cell phone is a radio transmitter

and receiver. It is designed and man-

ufactured not to exceed the emis-

sion limits for exposure to radio fre-

quency (RF) energy established by

the Federal Communications Com-

mission (FCC) of the U.S. Govern-

ment and by Health Canada. These

limits are part of comprehensive

guidelines and establish permitted

levels of RF energy for the general

population. The guidelines were

developed and confirmed by inde-

pendent scientific organizations

through periodic and thorough eval-

uation of scientific studies*. The lim-

its include a substantial safety mar-

gin designed to assure the safety of

all persons, regardless of age and

health.
The exposure standard for cell

phones employs a unit of measure-

ment known as the Specific Absorp-

tion Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit

established by the FCC and by Health

Canada is 1.6 W/kg**. Tests for SAR

are conducted using standard oper-

ating positions accepted by the FCC

and by Industry Canada with the

phone transmitting at its highest cer-

tified power level in all tested fre-

quency 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 sta-

tion, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for

sale to the public, it must be tested

and the manufacturer must certify to

the FCC and Industry Canada that it

does not exceed the limit estab-

lished 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 Siemens CF62T when

tested for use at the ear is

1.32 W/kg***

and when worn on the body

0.36 W/kg***
