Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the 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 1.31 W/Kg and when
worn on the body , as described in this user guide, is 0.422 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 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/
