Health and Safety121Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless DevicesThe SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by the user of a wireless device.The SAR value of a device is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the device emits. All devices are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a device can be substantially less than the level reported to Industry Canada. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station antenna, design and other factors. What is important to remember is that each device meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety. All devices must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model devices do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public. The highest reported SAR value for the GT-5210 is: Body: 0.83 W/kg Owner’s RecordThe model number, regulatory number, and serial number are located on a nameplate inside the battery compartment.
