Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to
radio waves.
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 U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the phone 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 highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when
tested for use at the head is 1.30 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 1.06 W/kg (body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones 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 to the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
