studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and 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 is 1.6
W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted 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 antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone
model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the
FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for
each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use
at the ear is 0.244W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 0.640W/Kg(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). The
maximum scaled SAR in hotspot mode is 1.386W/Kg. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The
FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
