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 for
tested for use at the ear is 1.22 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this
user's manual, is 0.45 W/kg. (Body-worn

measurements differ among phones models,
depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements.) While there may be
differences between 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 emission
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/fccid after searching on
FCC ID BEJGT550.
Additional information on Specific Absorption
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association
(CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR
limit for mobile phones used by the public
is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one
gram of tissue. The standard incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
