ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
INFORMATION
THIS SIEMENS MC60 PHONE MEETS
THE GOVERNMENT'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS.
Your cell 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 established by
the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government and by Health Canada.
These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population.
The guidelines were developed and
confirmed 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 cell
phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit established by the FCC and by
Health Canada is 1.6 W/kg**. Tests
for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC and by Industry

SAR (Cell Phone Designation)

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, 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
established 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 model phone when testest for
use at the ear is
0.65 W/kg***
and when worn on the body
0.30 W/kg***

Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found
