SAR (A65)

RF EXPOSURE/SPECIFIC ABSORPTION

RATE (SAR) INFORMATION

THIS SIEMENS A65 PHONE MEETS

THE GOVERNMENT'S

REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS.
Your cell phone is a radio transmitter

and receiver. It is designed and man-

ufactured not to exceed the emission

limits for exposure to radio frequen-

cy (RF) energy established by the

Federal Communications Commis-

sion (FCC) of the U.S. Government

and by Health Canada. These limits

are part of comprehensive guide-

lines and establish permitted levels

of RF energy for the general popula-

tion. The guidelines were developed

and confirmed by independent sci-

entific organizations through period-

ic and thorough evaluation of scien-

tific studies*. The limits include a

substantial safety margin designed

to assure the safety of all persons, re-

gardless 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 es-

tablished 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 A65 when

tested for use at the ear is

0.438 W/kg***

and when worn on the body

0.507 W/kg***
