SAR (CF62T)
RF EXPOSURE/SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) INFORMATION
THIS SIEMENS CF62T PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIRE- MENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO ELECTRO- MAGNETIC FIELDS.
Your cell phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and man- ufactured not to exceed the emis- sion limits for exposure to radio fre- quency (RF) energy established by the Federal Communications Com- mission (FCC) of the U.S. Govern- ment and by Health Canada. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed and confirmed by inde- pendent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough eval- uation of scientific studies*. The lim- its include a substantial safety mar- gin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for cell phones employs a unit of measure- ment known as the Specific Absorp- tion Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit established by the FCC and by Health Canada is 1.6 W/kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard oper- ating positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the phone transmitting at its highest cer-
tified power level in all tested fre- quency bands. 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 power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base sta- tion, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and the manufacturer must certify to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed the limit estab- lished by each government for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body), reported to the FCC and available for review by Industry Canada. The highest SAR value for this Siemens CF62T when tested for use at the ear is
1.32 W/kg***
and when worn on the body+ is 0.36 W/kg***
