Consumer Information on SAR (SpecificAbsorption
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 radiofrequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 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 device 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 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 operating can be well below the maximum value. Because the device
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 device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified
by the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government adopted
17
Safety Guidelines
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 this device when worn on the body, as described in this
user guide, is 1.22W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among devices models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC/IC requirements.) While there may be
differences between SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR
information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
ZNFV495.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile device used by the public is
1.6watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
* Product meets current FCC & IC Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines.
