SAR Information Statement
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that
were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for
wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6
W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted 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
antenna, the lower the power output. Before a 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. The maximum scaled SAR value
for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is
1.229W/Kg
and
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.508W/Kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
