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 set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg
40
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 the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.

by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram

safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
