Consumer Information on
SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This phone model meets the government's requirements for
exposure to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio trans-
mitter 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 of
the U.S. Government. 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 mobile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the phone while operating can be well below the maxi-
mum value. Because the phone is designed to operate at mul-
tiple power levels to use only the power required to reach the
network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base sta-
tion antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the
limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and loca-
tions (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for
use at the ear is 0.934 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.605 W/kg (body-worn meas-
urements differ among phone models, depending upon avail-
able accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be
differences between SAR levels of various phones and at vari-
ous positions, they all meet the government requirement for
safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in com-
pliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information
on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found
under the Display Grant section of
