Specific Absorption Rate data
The selected product V66i meets government requirements for 
exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.   It is 
designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to 
radio frequency (RF) energy. 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 guidelines include a substantial safety margin 
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and 
health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of 
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.  
Under the guidelines for your phone model, the SAR limit is 2.0 W/
kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating 
positions with the phone 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 of the phone 
while operating can be well below the maximum value.  This is 
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels 
so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In 
general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power 
output of the phone.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it is tested 
to confirm compliance with the guidelines. The tests are performed 
in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) 
that conform to a uniform testing methodology determined by an 
expert standards body. The highest SAR value for this model 
phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.17
 W/kg 
and when worn 
on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.50 
W/kg
