Federal Communications Commission 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 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 0.95 W/Kg
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.66 W/ Kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements). 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 SAR testing for Body-worn operation was performed with a belt clip that provided a
15mm separation. The User’s Manual indicates that any holsters/clips used with this
device should contain no metallic components.
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 http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on U46-CDM2035.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is
1.6 W/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
sub-stantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements.
