Consumer Information on 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 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 phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its
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, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that ist 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 highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
for use at the ear is 1.28Mw/g and when worn on the body, as described in this
user guide, is 0.523mW/g, (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
