using standard operating positions specified by the FCC/IC with the device 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 device while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the device 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 wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified
to the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure under the
recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP). The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn
on the body) as required by the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union for each model.
The highest SAR value for each device model when tested for use at the ear is outlined below:
