Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

V201SH meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves.
These requirements are based on scientific basis to assure that radio waves emitted
from cellphones and other handheld wireless devices do not affect human health.
They require that the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radiofrequency absorbed by the body, shall not
*
exceed 2 W/kg . This limit includes a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age or health, and meets the international standard
set by International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) in
cooperation with World Health Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value for V201SH is 0.77 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted with
handset transmitting at its highest certified power level, and follow the testing methods
set by the government. While there may be differences between the SAR levels for
various handsets, they all meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure. The
actual SAR level of the handset while operating can be well below the highest value.
This is because the handset is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to reach the Network.
Additional information on SAR can be obtained on the following Websites:
