Consumer Information on SAR

(Specific Absorption Rate)

This Model Phone Meets the Government's
Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves.
Your wireless 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 set
by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) 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 maximum value. Because
the phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels 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.
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 locations (e.g., at
the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR
value for LG Arena phone when tested for use
at the ear is 0,35 W/kg and when worn on
the body, as described in this user's manual,
