not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the
U.S. Government. These FCC
exposure limits are derived
from the recommendations of
two expert organizations, the
National Counsel 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 exposure Limit for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or 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). The FCC exposure limit
incorporates a substantial margin
of safety to give additional
protection to the public and to
account for any variations in
measurements.
Tests for SAR 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 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.
Because the phone is designed
to operate at multiple power
levels 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.
Before a phone model 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. The tests are
performed in positions and
