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 Radio Frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.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 known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the
device 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 device while
