Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This model wireless device meets the government’s requirements for
exposure to radio waves. Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to Radio Frequency (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 devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit for wrist watch used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue or 4.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over ten gram of
tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
specified by the FCC with the wireless device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
wireless device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
Because the wireless device is designed to operate at multiple power
levels 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 wireless device 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
