of radio wave exposure for the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency
energy absorbed by the body when using a low-power radio transceiver designed for body worn or
head held use. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory
conditions, but the actual SAR level of the low-power radio transceiver while operating can be well
below this value. This is because the low-power radio transceiver is designed to use the minimum
power required to reach the network.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are
variations in safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among PC card modems, all
Sony Ericsson PC card modem models are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.
Before a PC card modem 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 as required by the FCC for each model.
For body worn operation, this PC card modem has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines for fixed and mobile use when the PC card modem is installed in a PCMCIA card slot of
a standard Laptop PC with the original antenna.
Sony Ericsson has not measured, and makes no representation about, the body worn SAR levels
when the modem card is used in any portable host equipment or when any changes to the original
product has been made.
