SAR tests 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 the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while operation 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
base station, the lower the power output of the
phone.
Before a new 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. (Body-worn
measurements may differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations
with the back of the phone kept 1.5 cm. from the body.
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure require-
ments, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories
that maintain a 1.5 cm. separation distance between
the user's body and the back of the phone, including
the antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar
accessories should not contain metallic components in
its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy
