Certification Information (SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio
frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio
frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive
international safety guidelines, developed by scientific
organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish
permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general
population. The levels include a safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health,
and to account for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for
the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body
when using a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at
the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but
the actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating can

be well below the value. This is because the mobile phone is
designed to use the minimum power required to reach the
network.
All models of Huawei’s mobile phone are designed to meet
radio frequency exposure guidelines. 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 (that is, at the ear and
worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. For
body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets
FCC RF exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned a
minimum of 15 mm from the body with an accessory that
contains no metal part. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The SAR limit adopted by the USA and Canada is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The
highest SAR value reported to the FCC and IC for this device
type when tested for use at the ear is 1.02 W/kg, and when
properly worn on the body is 0.95 W/kg.
The SAR limit adopted by the CNIRP is 2.0W/kg over one
gram of tissue. The value guarantees a safe distance to protect
mobile phone users and the difference caused by
measurement errors. Under different test requirements and
frequency, the value varies.
Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. Operation is subject to the condition that this
device does not cause harmful interface.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
