Safety
  The above tips are meant as general guidelines. Before deciding to use your 
mobile device while operating a vehicle, it is recommended that you consult 
your applicable jurisdiction’s local laws or other regulations regarding such 
use. Such laws or other regulations may prohibit or otherwise restrict the 
manner in which a driver may use his or her phone while operating a vehicle. 
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 radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications 
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These FCC exposure limits 
are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the 
National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the 
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the 
recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts 
drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of 
the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement 
known as the Specific 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.
