SAR Data
The model wireless phone meets the
government's requirements for exposure
to radio waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by the
Canadian regulatory authorities. 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 or 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
and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/
kg.1 Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC and by
Industry Canada 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, the lower
the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public
in the U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certified
to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed
the limit established by each government for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
reported to the FCC and available for review by
Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.03 W/kg,
and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 1.04 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and regulatory requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the governmental requirements for safe
exposure. Please note that improvements to this
product model could cause differences in the SAR
value for later products; in all cases, products are
designed to be within the guidelines.
