Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This model device meets the government's requirements for exposure to
radio waves.
Your wireless device 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 devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified
by the FCC with the device 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 device while
operating can be well below the maximum value. Because the device
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 device 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.
