Absorption Rate (SAR).
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the
amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a
mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified
power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the
mobile phone while it is operating can be well below this value. This is
because the mobile phone is designed to use the minimum power
required to reach the network. Variations in SAR below the radio
frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations in
safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile
phones, all mobile phone models are designed to meet radio frequency
exposure guidelines. Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (that is, at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model. For body-worn operation,
this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines
when the handset is positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body
without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when used with
the original accessory intended for this phone and worn on the body.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
The SAR limit recommended by the EU Council is 2.0W/kg
A
The highest SAR value for this model phone was 0.672 W/kg.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.
