Health and safety information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Signals
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of
RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on the safety standards
that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and
through evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless phones
employs a unit of measurement known as
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR
limit recommended by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
SAR tests are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with
the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency
bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the phone while operating can be
well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power
output of the phone.
Before a new model phone is available for
sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed
1. In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to
1 account for any variations in
measurements.
