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 and IC 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 and IC and for each model.
The highest SAR value for each device model when tested for use at the ear is outlined below:
