Consumer Information on 
SAR

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 
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 1.6 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)
