Safety Guidelines
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
116
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 locations (e.g., at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model.
The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines.
The highest SAR values are:
