Certification Information (SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy
(also known as radio waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive
international safety guidelines, developed by scientific
organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines
establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general
population. The levels include a safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health,
and to account for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for
the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body
when using a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the
highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the
actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating can be well
below the value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to
use the minimum power required to reach the network.
All models of Huawei’s mobile phone are designed to meet radio
frequency exposure guidelines. 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 (that is, at the ear and
worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. For
body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC
RF exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned a
minimum of 15 mm from the body with an accessory that
18
contains no metal part. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The SAR limit adopted by the USA and Canada is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The
highest SAR value reported to the FCC and IC for this device
type when tested for use at the ear is 0.843 W/kg, and when
properly worn on the body is 0.515 W/kg.
The SAR limit adopted by the CNIRP is 2.0W/kg over one gram
of tissue. The value guarantees a safe distance to protect mobile
phone users and the difference caused by measurement errors.
Under different test requirements and frequency, the value
varies.
