8 Important Health, Safety, and Warranty Information
Speciic Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certiication Information
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These FCC RF exposure limits are derived
from the recommendations of two expert
organizations: the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were
developed by scientiic and engineering experts
drawn from industry, government, and academia
after extensive reviews of the scientiic literature
related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Speciic Absorption Rate (SAR). The
SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF
energy by the human body expressed in units
of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of
1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection to
the public and to account for any variations
in measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC with
the phone transmitting at its highest certiied
power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certiied power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below the
maximum reported value. This is because the
