and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is
1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the device transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the
FCC guidelines for this device model are:
Head SAR: 0.34 W/kg 1g
Body SAR: 1.14 W/kg 1g
During use, the actual SAR values for this device
are usually well below the values stated above.
This is because, for purposes of system efficiency
and to minimize interference on the network, the
operating power of your mobile device is
automatically decreased when full power is not
needed for the call. The lower the power output of
the device, the lower its SAR value. Body-worn
SAR testing has been carried out at a separation
distance of 1.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines
during body-worn operation, the device should be
positioned at least this distance away from the
body.
Organizations such as the World Health
Organization and the US Food and Drug
Administration have suggested that if people are
concerned and want to reduce their exposure, they
could use a hands-free accessory to keep the
wireless device away from the head and body
during use, or reduce the amount of time spent
using the device. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government
requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment
