carried out on the basis of standard usage modes with the phones transmitting at
their maximum power level over the entire range of frequency bands.
Although the SAR was established at the highest certified level, the actual SAR level
for the mobile phone during use is generally much lower than the maximum values.
In fact, since mobile phones are designed to operate at many different power levels,
they only use the minimum level of power required to provide a connection to the
network. In theory, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power
level required by the mobile phone.
