Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR value corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed
into the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring
and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone
emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict
laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be
substantially less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a
variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone
design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not
represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a
substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values
between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe
for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the DuraForce XD are:
Head: 0.93 W/kg
Body-worn: 1.19 W/kg
Hotspot: 1.19 W/kg
In the US, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6
watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 1 gram of tissue for the body or head.
Phone models may have different versions and more than one value.
Changes in design or components may occur over time and some
changes could affect SAR values. More information on the phone’s SAR
can be found on the following FCC website: http://fcc.gov/oet/ea/
