This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using
your phone. These safety precautions should be followed to safety use
your phone.
Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
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 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 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). 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.
