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 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.
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
