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 Sony Ericsson
mobile phone models are designed to meet radio frequency exposure
guidelines.
For phones sold in the U.S, 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 Sony Ericsson accessory intended for
this phone and worn on the body. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information on/about this mobile phone
model is included with the material accompanying this mobile phone.
This information can also be found, together with more information
