THIS PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S RE-
QUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emis-
sion limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) en-
ergy. These limits are part of comprehensive guide-
lines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent sci-
entific organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines
include a substantial safety margin designed to en-
sure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities
such as the Federal Communications Commission
of the US Government (FCC), or by Innovation, Sci-
ence and Economic Development Canada (ISEDC),
is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard op-
erating positions with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands.
