[ 101 ]Reference information• CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOREXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed andmanufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission ofthe U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelinesand establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. Theguidelines are based on standards that were developed by independentscientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation ofscientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margindesigned to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit ofmeasurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SARlimit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted usingstandard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phonetransmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequencybands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified powerlevel, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well belowthe maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate atmultiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach thenetwork. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna,the lower the power output.Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be testedand certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established bythe government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests areperformed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn onthe body) as required by the FCC for each model. The following values arethe highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC:
