Consumer Information on SAR

(Specific Absorption Rate)

	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 the emission limits for
	exposure to Radio Frequency
	(RF) energy set by the Federal
	Communications Commission of
	the U.S. Government. These
S a	limits are part of comprehensive
f e	guidelines and establish
ty
	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

100margin 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 is 1.6 W/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 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. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels 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.
