Specific Absorption Rate 

(SAR) Data

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT S 

REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

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

Specif

designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to 

radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications 

ic Absorption Rate (SAR) 

Commission (FCC) for the U.S. government and by Health 

Canada for Canada. 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 

D

unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or 

ata

SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC and by Health Canada 

is 1.6W/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.
