is designed and manufactured to exceed limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communication Commission (FCC) of the U.S Government. 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 is 1.6 W/Kg. Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC 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, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit establish 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.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note
that improvements to this product model could cause
differences in the SAR value for later products, in all cases,
products are designed to be within the guidelines.
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
