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 1.6W/kg. * Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions
specified by the FCC with
