tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the mobile phone
while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the mobile 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 of the mobile phone.
Before a mobile phone model is available for sale to
the public, compliance with national regulations and
standards must be shown. The highest SAR value for
this model mobile phone when tested is 1.06 W/Kg for
use at the ear and 1.16 W/Kg for use close to the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various mobile phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement
for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the phone
has been tested when positioned a minimum of 10mm
from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity of
the phone or when properly used with an appropriate
accessory and worn on the body. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. Additional information on SAR
can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications
& Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://www.

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers
that present scientific information does not indicate
the need for any special precautions for use of
mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they
might choose to limit their own or their children's
