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 Radio Frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission 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 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
