Specific Absorption Rate Data
This model phone meets international standards for exposure to
radio waves.
Your satellite phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
established permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that we developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure 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. Under the
guidelines for this model, the SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg. *Tests for SAR were
conducted in accordance with CENELEC and FCC testing procedures
using standard operating positions 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 of
the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it is tested to
confirm compliance with the guidelines. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) that
conform to a uniform testing methodology determined by an expert
standards body. The highest SAR level recorded from this product was
0.357 mW/g for a 1g cube which was below the uncontrolled (i.e. general
population) limit. While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that
modifications to this product model could cause differences in the SAR
value for later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within
the guidelines.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
phone and may violate local agency regulations. When using remote
mount antenna, mount antenna at least feet away from the user.
