Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This Model wireless phone meets the government
’
s requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured to not exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. government
and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. 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 for the safety of all persons, regardless of age or 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 using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC 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, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for
sale to the public in the U.S, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit establish for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g, at the ear and worn on the body) reported to the
FCC.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S, it must

safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g, at the ear
and worn on the body) reported to the FCC. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all
meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that
improvements to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value
for later products, in all cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines.
