Specific Absorption Rate Data
SAR Data
The model wireless 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 limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities.
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 or 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 the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/
kg.1 Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC and by 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
62
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
in the U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certified
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 tested for use at the ear is 1.54 W/kg, and when
worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.13 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among
phone models, depending upon available accessories
and regulatory requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the governmental requirements for safe exposure.
Please note that improvements to this product model
could cause differences in the SAR value for later
products; in all cases, products are designed to be
within the guidelines.
