multiple power levels so as 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 of the phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limit established by the
FCC. Tests for each model phone are performed in positions and locations (e.g.
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC. For body-worn
operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines
when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the
mobile device a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines. The maximum SAR values as listed on the FCC equipment
auathorization are:
•
Head: 0.94 W/kg.
•
Body-worn: 0.64 W/kg.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be accessed online on the
FCC's website through
http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html
. To find
information that pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone
FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the phone.
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number.
Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the instructions
on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a
particular phone. Additional SAR information can also be obtained at
