SAR (SX66)
RF EXPOSURE/SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) INFORMATION
THIS SIEMENS SX66 PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPO-
SURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS.
Your cell 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 established by the Federal Com-
munications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by Health Canada. These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines were developed and confirmed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies*. The limits include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for cell phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit established by the FCC and by Health Canada is 1.6
W/kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
and by Industry Canada 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, the lower
the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and the manufacturer
must certify to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit established by each
government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the
ear and worn on the body), reported to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada.
The highest SAR value for this Siemens SX66 when tested for use at the ear is 0.4 mW/g*** and
when worn on the body
+
is 0.548 mW/g***
