Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Smartphones

The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.

The SAR value of a smartphone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the smartphone emits. All smartphone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a smartphone can be substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, smartphone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each smartphone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.

All smartphones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR

values between different model smartphones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.

The highest reported (FCC) SAR values of the Palm® Treo™ 700wx smartphone are:

Maximum Scaled SAR Values (W/kg)

Head SAR	(W/Kg)	(W/Kg)
(Held to Ear)	1.26	1.26
Body SAR	(W/Kg)	(W/Kg)
(Worn)	1.01	.55
