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.
