Certification Information (SAR)
This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio 
waves.
Your device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. As 
recommended by international guidelines, the mobile device is 
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves. 
These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific 
organization International Commission on Non-Ionizing 
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and include safety measures 
designed to ensure safety for all users, regardless of age and 
health.
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement 
for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body 
when using a device. The SAR value is determined at the 
highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the 
actual SAR level of the device when being operated can be well

below the value. This is because the device is designed to use 
the minimum power required to reach the network.
The SAR limit adopted by 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 0.96W/kg, and when 
properly worn on the body is 1.39W/kg.
The SAR limit also adopted by Europe is 2.0 W/kg averaged 
over 10 grams of tissue. The highest SAR value for this device 
type when tested at the ear is 1.0 W/kg.
