Your wireless handheld portable device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When ON, it receives and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards ‘bodies, as follows:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)

• American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the
  ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of your device complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

Consumer Information on SAR

This Model Device Meets the Government’s Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves. Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy. The exposure limit for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although 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. Because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power required to reach the network, generally, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the 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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. Third-party belt clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.

The highest SAR value for this model device when worn on the body is 1.19 W/kg. While there may be differences between SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID: R38YLCP314AT.

To find information that pertains to a particular model device, this site uses the device FCC ID number which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the device. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for your device, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for that device.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at http://www.ctia.org/
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices 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 for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
