Radio Wave Exposure and
Specifi c Absorption Rate (SAR) Information

Mobile Phone GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900
United States & Canada
THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The W62S mobile phones have been designed to comply with applicable safety
requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed to not exceed the limits* of exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by governmental authorities. These limits establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by
international scientifi c organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientifi c
studies. The standards include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
individuals, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specifi c
Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the
phone transmitting at its highest certifi ed power level in all used frequency bands. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phone models, they are all
designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves. For more information
on SAR, please refer to the safe and effi cient use chapter in the User Guide.
The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for this phone model when tested for
use by the ear is 0.73 W/kg*, and when worn on the body is 0.42 W/kg* for speech and
0.66 W/kg* for data calls. Body worn measurements are made while the phone is in use
and worn on the body with a Sony Ericsson accessory supplied with or designated for use
with this phone. It is therefore recommended that only Ericsson and Sony Ericsson original
accessories be used in conjunction with Sony Ericsson phones.
**Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the US, it must be tested and
certifi ed by the Federal Communications Commission (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 (i.e., by the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this phone
model with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones, all
mobile phones granted an FCC equipment authorization meet the government requirement
for safe exposure. SAR information on this phone model is on fi le at the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching
on FCC ID PY7A5025011 Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website at http://www.phonefacts.net.
