Safety
Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
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 the emission limits for exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the
U.S. Government. 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 and 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 is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions specified by the
FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands. Although 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.
Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels 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, it must
be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the
limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use
at the ear is 1.24 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.839 W/kg (body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may
be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for
safe exposure.
