Exposure to Radio Freqency (RF)
Signals
Your 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 (FCC) 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 the safety standards that
were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and through
evaluation of scientific sudies.
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 phones employs
a unit of measurement known as Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended
by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bans. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the
atual SAR level of the phone while operating can be
well below the maximum value. This is because the
phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network. In gerneral, the closer you are to a
