medical device when the mobile device is turned
ON.
• DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast
pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the implantable medical
device to minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you
have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place.
Read and follow the directions from the
manufacturer of your implantable medical device. If
you have any questions about using your mobile
device with your implantable medical device, consult
your healthcare provider.
Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)
SAR (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
68
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 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
1.59 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described
in this guide, is 0.53 W/kg. The SAR value for this
mobile device in its data transmission mode
