Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification 
Information
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is 
designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for 
Radio Frequency (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 
Council 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 set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices 
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific 
Absorption Rate (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 devices 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.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions 
accepted by the FCC with the mobile device 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 mobile device while operating 
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the 
mobile device 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 antenna, 
the lower the power output.
Before a new model mobile device is available for sale to the 
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not 
exceed the exposure limit established by the FCC. Tests for each 
model of a device are performed in positions and locations (e.g. 
near the body) as required by the FCC.
For typical operations, this mobile device has been tested and 
meets FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF 
exposure guidelines.
