Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) Data
THIS MODEL 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) for the U.S. government and by Health
Canada for Canada. 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 Health Canada
1
is 1.6W/kg.
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.
