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 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 1.27 W/kg and when worn on the
body, as described in this user guide,
is 0.693 W/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.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information
on this model phone is on file with the
FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID BEJVX5400.

Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found

* In the United States and Canada, the
SAR limit for mobile phones used by
the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue.
