the ear is 1.38 W/kg and when worn
on the body, as described in this
user's manual, is 0.764 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/fccid after
searching on FCC ID.
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

Safety
*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. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public
and to account for any variations in
measurements.

Report and Order in WT Docket 01-
309 modified the exception of
wireless phones under the Hearing
Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC
Act) to require digital wireless
phones be compatible with hearing-
aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to
ensure reasonable access to
telecommunications services for
persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless phones are
used near some hearing devices
(hearing aids and cochlear
implants), users may detect a
buzzing, humming, or whining noise.
