Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless device 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 devices
employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with
the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the device
while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the device 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 outputs.
Before a device 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.,
worn on the body) as required by the FCC for
each model.
The highest SAR value for this device when
worn on the body is 1.25W/kg.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information
on this device is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Gant section
of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after
searching on FCC ID ZNFL04D. Additional
information about Specific Absorption
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association
(CTIA) web-site at http://www.ctia.org/.
