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 phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified
power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the
phone while it is operating can be well below this value. This is
because the phone 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 phones, all Sony Ericsson phone
models are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.
For phones sold in the US, before a phone model is available for
sale to the public, it must be tested and certified by the Federal
Communications Commission (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 (that
is, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and
meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned
a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts in the
vicinity of the phone or when used with the original Sony Ericsson
accessory intended for this phone and worn on the body. Use of
other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information about this phone model is
included with the material accompanying this phone. This
information can also be found, together with more information on
radio frequency exposure and SAR, on: www.sonyericsson.com/
