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, 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
26
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.
Before a phone model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and certified
to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit
established by the government adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g., at
the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR values are:
* Head: 0.47 W/kg
* Body (Body-worn/Hotspot): 0.56 W/kg
