Specific absorption rate data

THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The BlackBerry® device 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 (FCC) of the U.S.
Government, Industry Canada of the Canadian Government (IC), and recommended
by The Council of the European Union. 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. 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 devices employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg*.
The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W/kg**.
