maintained between the user's body and the back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters,
and similar accessories containing metallic components may not be used. Body-worn
accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1cm) separation distance between the user's
body and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may
not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at fcc.gov.
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 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, 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 phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. The highest SAR value for this model phone
0.94
when tested for use at the ear is X.XX W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this
user's manual, is X.XX W/kg. While there may be differences between SAR levels of various
1.21
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the

To find information that pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone FCC ID
number which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone. Sometimes it may be
necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Onceyou have the FCC ID number for
