For Your Safety 187
Consumer Information on SAR (Specific
Absorption Rate)
This Model Device Meets the Government’s Requirements for
Exposure to Radio Waves.
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency
(RF)energysetbytheFederalCommunicationsCommission(FCC)oftheU.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement
knownastheSpecificAbsorptionRate,orSAR.TheSARlimitsetbytheFCCis1.6
W/kg.*TestsforSARareconductedusingstandardoperatingpositionsspecified
bytheFCCwiththedevicetransmittingatitshighestcertifiedpowerlevelinall
tested frequency bands.
Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. Because
the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power
required to reach the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
andcertifiedtotheFCCthatitdoesnotexceedthelimitestablishedbythe
government 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 by the
FCCforeachmodel.
While there may be differences between SAR levels of various devices and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
