9998Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operatingpositions specified by the FCC with the phonetransmitting at its highest certified power level in alltested frequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, theactual SAR level of the phone while operation can bewell below the maximum value. This is because thephone is designed to operate at multiple power levelsso as to use only the power required to reach thenetwork. In general, the closer you are to a wirelessbase station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to thepublic, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that itdoes not exceed the limit established by thegovernment-adopted requirement for safe exposure.The tests are performed in positions and locations(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required bythe FCC for each model. (Body-worn measurementsdiffer among phone models, depending upon availableaccessories and FCC requirements). While there maybe differences between the SAR levels of variousphones and at various positions, they all meet thegovernment requirement for safety exposure.HHeeaalltthh aanndd SSaaffeettyy IInnffoorrmmaattiioonnHealth and SafetyInformationExposure to Radio Frequency (RF) SignalsYour mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.It is designed and manufactured not to exceed theemission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)energy set by the Federal CommunicationsCommission of the U.S. Government. These limits arepart of comprehensive guidelines and establishpermitted levels of RF energy for the generalpopulation. Those guidelines are consistent with thesafety standard previously set by both U.S. andinternational standards bodies:• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)IEEE. C95.1-1992• National Council on Radiation Protection andMeasurement (NCRP). Report 86• International Commission on Non-IonizingRadiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6.The standards include a substantial safety margindesigned to assure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phonesemploys a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit setby the FCC is 1.6W/kg.**In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the publicis 1.6 watts/kg(w/kg) averaged over on gram of tissue. The standardincorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection forthe public and to account for any variations in measurements.
