• RADIO WAVES:
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES.
Your mobile 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. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed
to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal Communication
Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram
of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the mobile 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
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 1.28 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 cellphones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the cellphone
meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the
handset at least 15 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC
RF exposure guidelines.
