Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of
radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The
SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory
conditions, but the actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating can be
well below the value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to use the
minimum power required to reach the network.
All models of Huawei’s mobile phone are designed to meet radio frequency
exposure guidelines. Before a phone model 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 (that is, at the ear and worn
on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. For body worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when the
handset is positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body with an accessory
that contains no metal part. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The SAR limit adopted by the USA and Canada is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported to the FCC
and IC for this device type when tested for use at the ear is 0.951W/kg, and
when properly worn on the body is 0.782W/kg.
