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
22
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 20 mm from the body with an
accessory that 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
1.130W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is
0.991W/kg.
The SAR limit adopted by the CNIRP is 2.0 W/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.
23
Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. Operation is
subject to the condition that this device does not cause
harmful interface.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
z Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
z Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
z Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
z Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Warning: Changes or modifications made to this
equipment not expressly approved by HUAWEI may void
the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
