186 Section 4A: Safety
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF
the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in
strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone
can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is
because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station
antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to
remember is that each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations
in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a
substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values
between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe
for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the VI-3155i by Nokia are:
AMPS mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.22 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.73 W/kg
Sprint PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.21 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.68 W/kg
