requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
• The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using a standardized method with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various ZTE phone models, they are all
designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
• The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), is 1.6W/kg averaged over ten (1) grams of tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is 1.170 W/kg (10g).
