7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy
exposure I can get by using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must comply with
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines
that limit Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposures. The
FCC established these guidelines in consultation with the
FDA and the other federal health and safety agencies. The
FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless phones is set at a
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram
(1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety
standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit
takes into consideration the body's ability to remove heat
from the tissues that absorb energy from the wireless
phone and is set well below levels known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF
exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The
FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives
directions for locating the FCC identification number on
your phone so you can find your phone's RF exposure level
in the online listing.

What has the FDA done to measure the Radio
Frequency energy coming from wireless phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
is developing a technical standard for measuring the Radio
Frequency (RF) energy exposure from wireless phones and
