Safety
wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government. These
limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The
guidelines are based on
standards that were developed
by independent scientific
organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the
94
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6 W/kg*. 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/IC that it does not exceed
the limit established by the
