wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, 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 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 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.
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 worm on the
body) as required by FCC for each model. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the
ear is 0.135W/kg and when worm on the body, as
described in this operation manual is 0.392W/kg.
Body-worm Operation; This device was tested for typical
body-worm operations with the back of the phone kept
15mm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC
RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain
a 15mm separation distance between the user’s body and
the back of the phone. The use of belt-clips, holsters and
similar accessories should not contain metallic
components in its assembly. The use of accessories that
do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
While these 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
APYNAR0055.
Additional information on Specific Absorption rates (SAR)
can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6Watts/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.
