network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the
power output.
Before a phone model 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)
reported to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.14 W/kg, and
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.2 W/kg.
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 improvements 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.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site:

1. In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
2. The SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol, assessment
procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF
exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm must be
maintained between the user's body and the handset, including the antenna.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by the device should
not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet
these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should
be avoided.
