Safety Information
is deposited in the heads of wireless
phone users. The test method uses
a tissue simulating model of the
human head. Standardized SAR
test methodology is expected to
greatly improve the consistency of
measurements made at different
laboratories on the same phone. SAR
is the measurement of the amount
of energy absorbed in tissue, either
by the whole body or a small part
of the body. It is measured in watts/
kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This
measurement is used to determine
whether a wireless phone complies
with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce
my exposure to Radio Frequency
energy from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products
— and at this point we do not know
that there is — it is probably very
small. But if you are concerned about
avoiding even potential risks, you can
take a few simple steps to minimize
your exposure to Radio Frequency
(RF) energy. Since time is a key factor
in how much exposure a person

receives, reducing the amount of
time spent using a wireless phone
will reduce RF exposure. If you must
conduct extended conversations
by wireless phone every day, you
could place more distance between
your body and the source of the
RF, since the exposure level drops
off dramatically with distance. For
example, you could use a headset and
carry the wireless phone away from
your body or use a wireless phone
connected to a remote antenna.
Again, the scientific data do not
demonstrate that wireless phones
are harmful. But if you are concerned
about the RF exposure from these
products, you can use measures like
those described above to reduce your
RF exposure from wireless phone use.
10. What about children using
wireless phones?
The scientific evidence does not show
a danger to users of wireless phones,
including children and teenagers.
If you want to take steps to lower
exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
energy, the measures described
