Consumer Information on SAR (Specific Absorption
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 1.6 W/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
Safety Guidelines
17
the government adopted 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 0.89 W/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: ZNFV520.
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 1.6 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.
* Product meets current FCC & IC Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines.
