Sendo SAR Statement (Americas)
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 and by Health Canada for Canada.
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 and by
Health Canada is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC and Industry Canada with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency 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 station antenna, the
lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public in the US and Canada, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC and Industry Canada that it
does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC and Industry Canada
for each model. The highest SAR value for this
model phone as reported to the FCC and Industry
Canada when tested for use at the ear is 0.794 W/
kg. ** While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government
requirement.
The FCC and Industry Canada have granted an
Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the
FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on P6PSNDX00. For body-worn
operation, to maintain compliance with FCC and
Health Canada RF exposure guidelines, use only
Sendo-approved accessories. When carrying the
