FCC SAR information
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE FCC'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the United States Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). 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 and 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 Health Canada is 1.6 W/kg (*). Tests
for SAR 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 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.
(*) In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (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.
