What does "SAR" mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and
other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless phones in the
United States. Before a wireless phone model is available for sale to the public, it must
be tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits
established by the FCC. One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate,
or "SAR." SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for
SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest power level in all tested
frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld wireless
phones not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram, averaged over one gram of tissue. Although
the SAR is determined at the highest power level, the actual SAR value of a wireless
phone while operating can be less than the reported SAR value. This is because the
SAR value may vary from call to call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell
site, the proximity of the phone to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free
devices.
For more information about SARs, see the FCC's OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at
http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins or visit the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association website at

the manufacturer of your phone.
