Specific Absorption
Rate Data
This model phone meets the government's requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy. 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 guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Abortion Rate, Or SAR. Under the
guideline for your phone model, the SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR
are conducted in accordance with CENELEC testing procedures using
standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR of the
phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as
to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a base station, the lower the power output of the phone.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public. it is tested to
confirm compliance with the guidelines. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and work on the body) that
conform to a uniform testing methodology determined by an expert
standards body. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
for use at the ear is __ W/kg.
