Appendix A: CERTIFICATION
INFORMATION (SAR)
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 safety 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 (SAR). The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. SAR Tests are conducted
using standard operating positions accepted by the
FCC 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 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 station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to
the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC
that it does not exceed the limit established by the
146
Health and safety information
government adopted requirement for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR values of this model phone as
reported to FCC are Head: 1.42W/kg, Body-worn:
1.15W/kg in GSM 850 and Head: 0.854W/kg,
Body-worn: 0.728W/kg in GSM 1900.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC and can be found
under the Display Grant section of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID
A3LSGHxxxx.
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilo-
gram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The
standard incorporates a substantial ma gin of safety
to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
