Specific Absorption Rate (Ieee) - Motorola XT553 User Manual

Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)

Your model wireless phone meets the governmental
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed and manufactured to not exceed limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities.
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 for the safety of all persons, regardless of age or
health, and to account for any variations in measurements.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR). The IEEE SAR limit set by the FCC and by the
Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/
kg), averaged over one gram of tissue. Tests for SAR are
conducted using procedures accepted by the FCC and by
26
Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)
Industry Canada with the mobile device transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequencies.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the mobile device
while operating can be below the maximum value. This
is because the mobile device 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, the lower the power output.
Before a mobile device is available for sale to the public
in the U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certified to
the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the
limit established by each government for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at
the ear and worn on the body) submitted to the FCC and
available for review by Industry Canada.The highest SAR
value for this mobile device when tested for use at the ear
is 0.543 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described
in this guide, is 1.29 W/kg. Body-worn measurements
can differ, depending upon available accessories and
regulatory requirements.The SAR information includes the
