Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE), through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish
permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general population.
The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any
variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the
amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when
using a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest
certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR
level of the mobile phone while operating can be well below the
value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to use the
minimum power required to reach the network.
All models of Huawei’s mobile phones are designed to meet radio
frequency exposure guidelines. Before a phone model is available
for selling to the public, it must be tested and certified by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC), ensuring that it does
not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (that is, at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model. For body worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines
when the handset is positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the
body with an accessory that contains no metal part. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
The SAR limit adopted by the USA and Canada is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The
highest SAR value reported to the FCC and IC for this device type
when tested for use at the ear is 1.204 W/kg, and when properly
worn on the body is 0.551 W/kg.
