Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) (by network mode)
The Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) is a measure of how much radiation is absorbed by the body when the phone is sending a signal to the network. Different cell tower networks use different frequencies. The phone changes modes depending on which network has the strongest signal. Contact your service provider to determine which mode you are using.
