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
