Appendix A: CERTIFICATION
INFORMATION (SAR)
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 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 safety
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 (SAR). The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. SAR Tests are
conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands. Although the 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. This is because the phone is designed to
operate at 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.
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 limit
established by the government adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
