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 radiofrequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These FCC exposure limits are
derived from the recommendations
of two expert organizations, the
National Counsel on Radiation
Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE). In both cases, the
recommendations were developed
by scientific and engineering
experts drawn from industry,
government, and academia after
extensive reviews of the scientific
literature related to the biological
effects of RF energy.
The exposure Limit for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
is a measure of the rate of
absorption of RF energy by the
human body expressed in units of
watts per kilogram (W/kg). The
FCC requires wireless phones to
comply with a safety limit of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The
FCC exposure limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public
and to account for any variations
in measurements.
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
