Safety Guidelines
Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the
Government's Requirements for
Exposure to Radio Waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications 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 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
using standard operating positions
specified by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although 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. Because the
phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels 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
