SAR Information
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and re-
ceiver. It is designed and manufactured not to ex-
ceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Govern-
ment. 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 peri-
odic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, re-
gardless of age and health. The exposure stan-
dard 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 be-
cause the phone is designed to operate at multi-
ple 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 mod-
el is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not ex-
ceed 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 highest SAR value for
this model phone when tested for use at the ear
is 0.259 W/Kg and when worn on the body , as
described in this user guide, is 0.588 W/Kg .
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories
and FCC requirements). While there may be dif-
