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 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.
Safety Guidelines
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 value for this phone when tested
for use at the ear is 0.64 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this
user's manual, is 1.29 W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phones
models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements.) 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
