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 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
SA
	safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
F ET	The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
Y
	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.

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 worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.

The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.21 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.28W/kg (body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
