Safety
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR is
a measure of the rate of absorption
of RF energy by the human body
expressed in units of watts per
kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per
kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC
exposure limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public
and to account for any variations in
measurements.
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
118
for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit
established by the
governmentadopted 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.
This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the back
of the phone kept 0.79 inches (2.0
cm) between the user's body and
the back of the phone. To comply
with FCC RF exposure requirements,
a minimum separation distance of
0.79 inches (2.0 cm) must be
maintained between the user s body
and the back of the phone. Third-
party belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic
components should not be used.
Body-worn accessories that cannot
maintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)
separation distance between the
user's body and the back of the
phone, and have not been tested
for typical body-worn operations
may not comply with FCC RF
exposure limits and should be
avoided.
