Getting Started Guide

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 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 1.25W/Kg and

when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.27W/

Kg (Body-worn measurements diﬀer among phone models,

depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements).

The maximum scaled SAR in hotspot mode is 1.32W/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 can be found under the Display Grant section of
