as described in this user guide, is 0.633 W/kg. (Body-worn measure-
ments differ among phone models, depending upon available acces-
sories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. 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 PP4TX-120C.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) web-site at http://phonefacts.net.
* 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.

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 the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of com-
prehensive 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 peri-
odic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and 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 is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the high-
est certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while oper-
ating 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
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 test-
ed 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 highest SAR
value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.15 W/kg
and when worn on the body,
