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 phones employs
a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the
FCC is 1.6W/kg.
* 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. The
highest SAR value for LG Arena
phone when tested for use at the
ear is 1.04 W/kg and when worn
on the body, as described in this
user's manual, is 1.09 W/kg.
(Body-worn measurements differ
among phones models,
depending upon available
accessories and FCC
