Exposure (SAR) limits and is complied with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information The handset
is designed to comply with safely, requirements for exposure to radio waves. This
requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the
