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
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) 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,
26
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, the actual SAR level of the phone
while operating can be well below the maximum
value. Because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels 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.
