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
exposure limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public
and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions
specified by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although 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. Because the
phone 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 phone model is available
for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit
established by the 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 FCC for each model.
This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the
back of the phone kept 0.79 inches
(2.0 cm) between the user's body
and the back of the phone. To
comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 0.79 inches
(2.0 cm) must be maintained
between the user s body and the
back of the phone. Third-party belt-
clips, holsters, and similar
accessories containing metallic
components should not be used.
Body-worn accessories that cannot
maintain 0.79 inches (2.0 cm)
separation distance between the
user's body and the back of the
phone, and have not been tested
for typical body-worn operations
may not comply with FCC RF
exposure limits and should be
avoided.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the
FCC RF emission guidelines.
