Specific Absorption Rate

SAR

Your model wireless phone meets the governmental
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured to not exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
U.S. Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. 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 for
the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health, and to account for
any variations in measurements.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR
limit set by the FCC and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is
1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg), averaged over one gram of tissue. Tests
for SAR are conducted using procedures accepted by the FCC and by
Industry Canada with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequencies. Although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone
while operating can be below the maximum value. This is because the
phone 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, the lower the power output.
72 SAR
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and
Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry Canada
that it does not exceed the limit established by each government for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g.,
at the ear and worn on the body) submitted to the FCC and available for
review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this model phone
when tested for use at the ear is 1.40 W/kg, and when worn on the
body, as described in this guide, is 1.14 W/kg. Body-worn
measurements can differ, depending upon available accessories and
regulatory requirements. The SAR information includes the Motorola
testing protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty
range for this product.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they meet the governmental
requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to this
product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later
products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines.
