15. RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless device employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of
the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when tested for body, as described in this user guide,
is 0.895 W/kg for CDMA 850 band.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
Q78-AC8720.
For body operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use the positions
the device a minimum of 0.5cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines.
