The model wireless phone meets the
government’s requirements for exposure to
radio waves.
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 limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government and by the Canadian regulatory authorities.
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 or 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
and by the Canadian regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/kg.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC and by Industry Canada
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,
the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public
in the U.S. and Canada, it must be tested and certified
to the FCC and Industry Canada that it does not exceed
the limit established by each government for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
reported to the FCC and available for review by Industry
Canada. See the printed Important Safety and Legal
Information guide or http://www.motorola.com/rfhealth
for SAR values.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please
note that improvements to this product model could
cause differences in the SAR value for later products; in
all cases, products are designed to be within
the guidelines.

1. 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.
