the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
SAR tests 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 reported 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 antenna, the lower the
power output of the phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and certified to
the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limit
established by the FCC. Tests for each model
phone are performed in positions and locations
(e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC. For body-worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines when used with an
accessory that contains no metal and that
positions the mobile device a minimum of
1.0 cm from the body.
