Specific Absorption
Rate Data
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 limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission for the United States and by
Health Canada for Canada. 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 or 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 and by Health Canada
1
is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry
Canada with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the 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. This is because the phone 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
