In June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative research and development
agreement through which additional scientific research is being conducted. The FCC
issued its own website publication stating that "there is no scientific evidence that
proves that wireless phone usage can lead to cancer or a variety of other problems,
including headaches, dizziness or memory loss. " This publication is available at
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or
(888) CALL-FCC.
What does "SAR" mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless phones
in the United States. Before a wireless phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does
not exceed limits established by the FCC. One of these limits is expressed as a
Specific Absorption Rate, or "SAR. " SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF
energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its
highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since 1996, the FCC has required
that the SAR of handheld wireless phones not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram,
averaged over one gram of tissue. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
power level, the actual SAR value of a wireless phone while operating can be less
than the reported SAR value. This is because the SAR value may vary from call to
call, depending on factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity of the phone
to the body while in use, and the use of hands-free devices.
For more information about SARs, see the FCC' s OET Bulletins 56 and 65

contact the manufacturer of your phone.
