being conducted. The FCC issued its own website publication
stating that "there is no scientific evidence that proves that
wireless device usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other
problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss" .

What does "SAR" mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, and other agencies,
established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless devices
in the United States. Before a wireless device model is
available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the
manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed
limits established by the FCC. One of these limits is expressed
as a Specific Absorption Rate, or "SAR" . SAR is a measure of
the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR
are conducted with the device transmitting at its highest
power level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC
has required that the SAR of handheld wireless device not
exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of
tissue.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level,
the actual SAR value of a wireless device while operating can
be less than the reported SAR value. This is because the SAR
value may vary from call to call, depending on factors such as
proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the device to the body
while in use, and the use of hands-free devices. 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.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR
information on this model device is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.
fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID ZNFV530.
