 SAR information

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and 

manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio 

frequency (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 the safety standards that were developed by 

independent scientific organizations through periodic and through 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

The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6

The highest reported SAR values are:

GSM850  Mode(Part 22) Head: 1.31 W/kg, Body-worn: 1.21 W/kg,

GSM1900 Mode(Part 24) Head:1.13 W/kg, Body-worn: 0.55W/kg

* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/

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.
