RF EXPOSURE/SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE
(SAR) INFORMATION
THIS SIEMENS A75 PHONE MEETS THE
GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS.
Your cell phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the emission limits for ex-
posure to radio frequency (RF) energy es-
tablished by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Govern-
ment and by Health Canada. These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines
were developed and confirmed by inde-
pendent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of sci-
entific studies*. The limits include a sub-
stantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The exposure standard for cell phones
employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit established by the FCC and by
Health Canada is 1.6 W/kg**. Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operat-
ing positions accepted by the FCC and by
Industry Canada with the phone transmit-
ting 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 level 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 wireless base sta-
tion, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and the
manufacturer must certify to the FCC and
Industry Canada that it does not exceed
the limit established by each government
for safe exposure. The tests are performed
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear
and worn on the body), reported to the
FCC and available for review by Industry
Canada. The highest SAR value for this
Siemens A75 when tested for use at
the ear is
0.45 W/kg***
and when worn on the body
0.39 W/kg***
Additional information on Specific Ab-
sorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications Internet As-
sociation (CTIA) web-site at
www.phonefacts.net or the Canadian Wire-
less Telecommunications Association
(CWTA) website www.cwta.ca
SAR information on this Siemens A75
phone is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
While there may be differences between
the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, all Siemens products
meet the governmental requirements for
safe RF exposure.

For body worn operation, this mobile phone has
been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with a Siemens accesso-
ry designated for this product, where available,
or when used with a carry accessory that con-
tains no metal and that positions the handset at
least 1.0 cm/0.39 inch is the correct testing dis-
tance from the body. Use of other carry acces-
sories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
