FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission of the United
States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed
in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the
head with no separation, and near the body with the separation
of 15 mm. Although the 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. 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.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of
measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
This device is complied with SAR for general
population/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can
81
Page 82
be found under the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
SRQ-ZTEA31LITE. The FCC ID also can be found on the
device when you swipe on the home screen and touch
Settings > About phone > FCC ID.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage
against the head is 0.779 W/kg, and for usage near the body is
1.411 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human
body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your body to
ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported
level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or
holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain
a separation of 10 mm between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory that
contains metal was not tested and certified, and use of such
body-worn accessory should be avoided.
