SAR INFORMATION
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
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 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 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 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 highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear
is
0.906 W/Kg
and when worn on the body as described in this user guide,
is
0.320W/Kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories 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:
RV2MASS2
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found

. * 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.
