While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/
fccid/ after searching on FCC ID ZNFD520.
For more information about SARs, see the FCC's OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at

the manufacturer of your phone.
Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take
to minimize your RF exposure. You can, of course, reduce your talk time. You
can place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the
exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. The FDA/FCC website
states that "hands-free kits can be used with wireless phones for convenience
and comfort. These systems reduce the absorption of RF energy in the head
because the phone, which is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed
against the head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the waist
or other part of the body during use, then that part of the body will absorb more
RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in the U.S. are required to meet safety
requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head or against
the body. Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety limit. "
Also, if you use your wireless phone while in a car, you can use a phone with
an antenna on the outside of the vehicle. You should also read and follow your
wireless phone manufacturer's instructions for the safe operation of your phone.
