Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
mobile phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels
so as 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 of the mobile phone. Before a
mobile phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance
with national regulations and standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested is
1.09 W/Kg for use at the ear and 0.96 W/Kg for use close to the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various mobile phones and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn
operation, the mobile phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines
provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the
handset at least 10 mm from the body. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned,
they might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure
by limiting the length of calls, or using “hands-free” devices to keep
mobile phones away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193).
