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 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 0.68 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this guide, is
1.48 W/kg. Body-worn measurements can differ, depending upon available accessories
and regulatory requirements. The SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol,
assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various mobile devices and at
various positions, they 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.

& Internet Association (CTIA) Web site:

Specific Absorption Rate (ICNIRP)
SAR (ICNIRP)
Your model wireless phone meets international
guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to not exceed the
limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include
safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and
health, and to account for any variations in measurements.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices used by the general public is 2 watts per kilogram
(W/kg), and the highest SAR value for this mobile device when tested at the ear is
0.48 W/kg. As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in this guide. In this case, the highest tested
SAR value is 1.09 W/kg. The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing. The SAR information includes the Motorola testing protocol,
assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.
As SAR is measured utilizing the mobile device's highest transmitting power, the actual
SAR of this mobile device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is
due to automatic changes to the power level of the mobile device to ensure it only uses
the minimum level required to reach the network.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various mobile devices and at
various positions, they 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.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that
if you want to reduce your exposure, then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or
using a handsfree device to keep the mobile device away from the head and body.

whether mobile phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects
have been established for mobile phone use."
