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 Radio Frequency (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 1.6 W/kg. 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,
