thorough evaluation of scientic studies. These guidelines
include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal
Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC),
or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram
of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the mobile device transmitting at its
highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model device is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/
oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJBT16.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied power
level, the actual SAR level of the mobile device while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
mobile device 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 of the mobile device. Before a mobile
device model is available for sale to the public, compliance
with national regulations and standards must be shown. The
highest SAR value for this model mobile device when tested is
1.31 W/kg for use close to the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various mobile devices and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn
