Consumer Information on SAR (Specific Absorption
Rate)
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 (FCC) 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 using standard operating positions specified
by the FCC with the phone 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 phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. Because
the phone 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 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 values for Canada are:
* Head: 1.04W/kg
* Body (Body-worn/Hotspot): 0.96W/kg (Body measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC/ISEDC requirements.)
