population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC/IC is 1.6W/kg*. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union
is 2.0W/kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC/IC with the device
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 device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the device 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.
Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC, IC, and The
Council of the European Union that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement
for safe exposure under the recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP). The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union for each model.
The highest SAR values for each device model when tested for use at the ear is outlined below:

The highest SAR values for each device model when worn on the body, in an approved holster or carrying case, is
outlined below:

Body-worn measurements differ among wireless device and phone models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC, IC, and The Council of the European Union requirements. While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various wireless devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless device model with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this wireless device model is on file with the
FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID
L6ARAT40GW. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.

* 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 for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities -
hands, wrists, ankles and feet). The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection
for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
** In Europe, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 Watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of
tissue for the body or head (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles and
feet). The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
