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 1.6W/Kg. 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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 0.73 W/kg, for usage near the body is 0.73 W/kg.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: HD560SLU.

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 1.5cm between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least 1.5cm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level remains at or below the maximum levels. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of 1.5cm between this device and your body. RF exposure compliance with any of body-worn accessory, which contains metal, was not tested and certified, and use such body-worn accessory should be avoided.

IC Radiation Exposure Statement

This EUT is compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled exposure limits in IC RSS-102 and has been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE 1528. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 1.5cm between the radiator and your body.

CE SAR Compliance

This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection.

The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientific organization through regular and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The unit of measurements for the European Council’s recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Specific Absorption Rate” (SAR), and the SAR limit is 2.0W/kg averaged over 10 gram of tissue. It meets the requirements of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

The highest reported CE stand alone SAR values for head, body-worn accessory conditions are: 0.716 W/kg (10g), 0.741 W/kg (10g).

For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNIRP exposure guidelines and the European Standard EN 62311 and EN 62209-2, for use with dedicated accessories. SAR is measured with this device at a separation of 1.5cm to the body, while transmitting at the highest certified output power level in all frequency bands of this device. Use of other accessories which contain metals may not ensure compliance with ICNIRP exposure guidelines.
