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
mobile phones 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 phone
transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency
bands.
Although 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. Because the phone
is designed to operate at multiple
power levels 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 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
governmentadopted 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 0.671 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in
