SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE DATA
This model wireless phone meets the U.S. 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 limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and by the European
Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). 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 or health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set
by the FCC and CENELEC regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions 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, the lower the power output.
Before a wireless phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC and CENELEC that it does not exceed the limit established
for safe exposure. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
for use at the ear is 1.46 W/kg. This SAR compliance is limited to the specific
accessories shipped with the phone. For body worn operation, this device was
tested with 1.5 cm separation to the body. Third party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all met the governmental requirements for safe exposure.
