Health and Safety Information 127
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum reported value. This is because the 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
phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed
the SAR limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model phone
are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn
on the body) as required by the FCC. For body-worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets FCC SAR guidelines when
used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions
the mobile device a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this mobile phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The maximum SAR values as listed on the FCC equipment
authorization are:
Cellular/PCS/AWS CDMA and PCS/AWS LTE
•
Head:
0.78 W/Kg.
•
Body-worn:
0.91 W/Kg.
•
Simultaneous Transmission:
1.35 W/kg.
WLAN
•
Head:
< 0.10 W/Kg.
•
Body-worn:
< 0.10 W/Kg.
•
Simultaneous Transmission:
1.35 W/kg.
SAR information on this and other model phones can be
accessed online on the FCC's website through
http://
transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html
. To find information that
pertains to a particular model phone, this site uses the phone
FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on the case
of the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the
battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID
number for a particular phone, follow the instructions on the
website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR
for a particular phone. Additional SAR information can also be
obtained at
