For Your Safety
margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for
any variations in measurements. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although 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. Because the
phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power
required to reach the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the 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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF emission guidelines.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear
is 0.36 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user's manual,
is 0.42 W/kg. While there may be differences between SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for
safe exposure. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/
ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID ZNFB450.
To find information that pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the
phone FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the
phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the
number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum
SAR for a particular phone. Additional information on Specific Absorption
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/
* 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.
