(Specific Absorption Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the
Government's Requirements for
Exposure to Radio Waves. Your
wireless phone is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radiofrequency (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 for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR is a measure of the rate of
180
3/4/10 10:36 AM
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.
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 that
it does not exceed the limit
established by the government-
adopted requirement for safe
