Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification Information
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of
two expert organizations: the National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and
engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after
extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF
energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a
measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in
units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply
with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
