Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the cellphone while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
cellphone 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 of the cellphone. Before a
cellphone model is available for sale to the public, compliance
with national regulations and standards must be shown. The
highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested is
0.84 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.15 W/Kg for use close
to the body. While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various cellphones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure.
For body-worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-
metallic accessory with the handset at least 10 mm from the
body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance
with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that
present scientific information does not indicate the
need for any special precautions for use of cellphones. If
individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their
own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length
of calls, or using “hands-free” devices to keep cellphones
away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193). Additional
