FCC Compliance
This phone model has been certified in compliance with the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves.
The Sony PY7-07452G mobile phone has been designed to comply with the applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to not exceed the limits of exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by governmental authorities. These limits establish permitted levels of RF energy exposure for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by international scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation in scientific studies. The standards include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all individuals, regardless of age and health.
Understanding SAR
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phone models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
SAR Values and Usage
The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for this phone model when tested for use by the ear is 0.30 W/kg and when worn on the body is 0.74 W/kg. For WiFi hotspot mode, the SAR is 1.07 W/kg.
For body-worn operation, the phone has been tested when positioned a minimum of 10 mm from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when properly used with an appropriate accessory and worn on the body. For devices which include “WiFi hotspot” functionality, SAR measurements for the device operating in WiFi hotspot mode were taken using a separation distance of 10 mm.
When using the device as a charger, place the phone on a flat surface with a 20 cm separation distance from the user during the charging mode. Use of third-party accessories may result in different SAR levels than those reported.
Regulatory Information
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the US, 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 (i.e., by the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this phone model with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this phone model is on file at the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID PY7-07452G.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Mobile Manufacturers Forum EMF website at http://www.emfexplained.info/.
In the United States, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
