Your wireless Siemens A56 phone is 

a radio transmitter and receiver. It is 

designed and manufactured not to 

exceed the emission limits for expo-

sure to radiofrequency (RF) energy 

set by the Federal Communications 

Commission of the U.S. Govern-

ment. These limits are part of com-

prehensive guidelines and establish 

permitted levels of RF energy for the 

general population. The guidelines 

are based on standards that were de-

veloped by independent scientific 

organizations through periodic and 

thorough evaluation of scientific 

studies. The standards include a sub-

stantial safety margin designed to 

assure the safety of all persons, re-

gardless 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 speci-

fied by the FCC with the phone trans-

mitting 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 mul-

tiple power levels so as to use only 

the power required to reach the net-

work. 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 require-

ment for safe exposure. The tests are 

performed in positions and locations 

(for example, at the ear and worn on 

the body) as required by the FCC for 

each model. The highest SAR value 

for this Siemens A56 phone when 

tested for use at the ear is 0.76 W/kg, 

and when worn on the body, as de-

scribed in this user guide, is
0.46

 W/kg. (Body-worn measure-

ments differ among phone models, 

depending upon available accesso-

ries and FCC requirements.) While 

there may be differences between 

the SAR levels of various phones and 

at various positions, they all meet 

the government requirement for 

safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment 

Authorization for this Siemens A56 

phone with all reported SAR levels 

evaluated as in compliance with the 

FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR in-

formation on this Siemens A56 

phone is on file with the FCC and can 

be found under the Display Grant 

section of 

 

after searching on FCC ID PWX
