What does Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) mean?

In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless devices in the United States. Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC.

One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.”SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the wireless device transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld wireless devices not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue. Although the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual SAR value of a wireless device while operating can be less than the reported SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the wireless device to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices.

With an integrated music player that supported various audio formats, users could easily store and access their favorite tracks. The device also came with expandable storage options through a microSD slot, enabling users to increase their media library without compromising space.

Moreover, LG incorporated a 1.3-megapixel camera into the device, allowing users to capture spontaneous moments. While the camera lacked the advanced features of today’s smartphones, it provided essential functionality for casual photography.

The LG Chocolate's battery life was another impressive aspect, offering hours of talk time and standby. This ensured that users could stay connected without frequent recharging, a crucial factor for on-the-go lifestyles.

In conclusion, the LG Electronics Chocolate was more than just a mobile phone; it was a trendsetter that integrated style and practicality. With its innovative design, music capabilities, and decent camera, it captured the hearts of consumers around the world. The legacy of the LG Chocolate lives on as a significant milestone in the evolution of mobile technology, paving the way for the modern smartphones we use today.
