Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF 
energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, 
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how 
much RF the phone emits. All phone models are tested at their 
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in 
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the 
level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors 
including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design 
and other factors. What is important to remember is that each 
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not 
represent a variation in safety. 
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates 
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR 
values between different model phones do not mean variations 
in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/
kg are considered safe for use by the public. 
The highest reported SAR values of the [VGA1000] are:
AMPS mode (Part 22) - Head: xx W/kg; Body-worn: xx W/kg 
PCS mode (Part 24) - Head: xx W/kg; Body-worn: xx W/kg
FCC Radiofrequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission 
Guidelines. FCC ID number: A3LSPHA620. More information on 
the phones SAR can be found from the following FCC Web 
site:
