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 (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 1.47 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide, the highest SAR value is 1.08 W/kg (Body-
worn measurements differ among phone models, depending
upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure. The FCC has
granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID

.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) web-site at

In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged
over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for
the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
