SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the mobile 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 mobile device while operating can be well below
the maximum reported value. This is because the mobile 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 of the mobile device.
Before a new model mobile device is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limit established by
the FCC. Tests for each model mobile device are performed in positions and
locations (e.g. near the body) as required by the FCC.
