FCC Radiofrequency Emission This smartphone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines and is certified with the FCC as.
Page 255 density. Power density is defined as power per unit area. For example, power density can be expressed in terms of milliwatts (one thousandth of a watt) per square centimeter (mW/cm2) or microwatts (one millionth of a watt) per square centimeter (µW/cm2). The quantity used to measure how much RF energy is actually absorbed by the body is called the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR.
Page 256 human body absorbs RF energy most efficiently. For products that only expose part of the body, such as wireless phones, exposure limits in terms of SAR only are specified. The exposure limits used by the FCC are expressed in terms of SAR, electric and magnetic field strength, and power density for transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
Page 257 SAR levels is typically found in the exhibits associated with the grant. Once a grant is accessed, the exhibits can be viewed by clicking on “View Exhibit. ” Grants authorized prior to 1998 are not part of the electronic database but, rather, have been documented in the form of paper records.
Page 258 likened to a thin pancake centered around the antenna system. The individual pattern for a single array of sector antennas is wedge-shaped, like a piece of pie. As with all forms of electromagnetic energy, the power decreases rapidly as one moves away from the antenna.
Page 259 databases, you can contact Donald Campbell at dcampbel@fcc.gov or 202-418-2405. Can local and state governmental bodies establish limits for RF exposure? Although some local and state governments have enacted rules and regulations about human exposure to RF energy in the past, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 requires the Federal Government to control human exposure to RF emissions.
Page 260 built-in antennas, often called “cell, ” “mobile, ” or “PCS” phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the user's head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies.
Page 261 What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radiofrequency energy from my wireless phone? If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there is--it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radiofrequency energy (RF).
Page 262 In addition, if the cell phone presents a risk of injury to the user, FDA may also take regulatory action. The most important...

Devices that you carry with you, such as your Palm device, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed to the device.
