RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device 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 United
States, Industry Canada of Canada.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the
head with no separation, and near the body. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device 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.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg, and 1.6W/kg
by Industry Canada.
This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and Canada RSS 102, and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, and
Canada RSS 102. This device has been tested, and meets the FCC, IC RF exposure guidelines
when tested with the device directly contacted to the body.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid
after searching on FCC ID:STO-EEHD301
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage near the body is 0.159 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance. Carry this device
away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level.
To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain
metallic components.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal, was not tested
and certified, and use such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
