standards include a safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all individuals,
regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ
a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are
conducted using standardized methods with
the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phone models, they are
all designed to meet the relevant guidelines
for exposure to radio waves. For more
information on SAR, please refer to the safe
and efficient use chapter in the User Guide.
The highest SAR value as reported to the
authorities for this phone model when tested
for use by the ear is 1.25 W/kg*, and when
worn on the body is 1.04 W/kg* for speech
and 1.40 W/kg* for data calls. For body-worn
operation, the phone has been tested when
positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the
body without any metal parts in the vicinity
of the phone or when properly used with an
appropriate Sony Ericsson accessory and
worn on the body.
For devices which include "WiFi hotspot"
functionality, body-worn SAR measurements
for operation of the device operating in WiFi
hotspot mode were taken using a separation
distance of 10 mm.
Use of third-party accessories may result in
different SAR levels than those reported.
** Before a phone model is available for sale
to the public in the US, it must be tested and
certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (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 (i.e., by the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this phone model with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones, all
mobile phones granted an FCC equipment
authorization meet the government
requirement for safe exposure. SAR
information on this phone model is on file at
the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/
fccid/ after searching on FCC ID
PY7A3880132. Additional information on SAR
can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/.
