Specific Absorption Rate Data

The model wireless phone meets the government's requirements for 

exposure to radio waves. 

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and 

manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) 

energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the 

U.S. Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities. These 

limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels 

of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on 

standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations 

through 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 or 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 and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/

kg.

 Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions 

accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada with the phone transmitting 

at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency 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 station, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S. and 

Canada, it must be tested and certified to the FCC and Industry Canada 

that it does not exceed the limit established 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 model phone when 

tested for use at the ear is 0.75 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as
