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.
126
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
set by the FCC is 1.6 W/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
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 account for any variations in
measurements.
