7. How can I fi nd out how much
radio frequency energy exposure
I can get by using my wireless
phone?
All phones sold in the United States
must comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
guidelines that limit radio frequency
energy (RF) exposures. The FCC
established these guidelines in
consultation with the FDA and the
other federal health and safety
agencies. The FCC limit for RF
exposure from wireless telephones is
set at a Specifi c Absorption Rate
(SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6
W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent
with the safety standards developed
by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the
National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurement. The
exposure limit takes into
consideration the body's ability to
remove heat from the tissues that
absorb energy from the wireless

phone and is set well below levels
known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless phones
must report the RF exposure level for
each model of phone to the FCC. The
FCC website
(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety)
gives directions for locating the FCC
identifi cation number on your
phone so you can fi nd your phone's
RF exposure level in the online
listing.
8. What has the FDA done to
measure the radio frequency
energy coming from wireless
phones?
The Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is
developing a technical standard for
measuring the radio frequency
energy (RF) exposure from wireless
phones and other wireless handsets
with the participation and leadership
of FDA scientists and engineers. The
standard, 'Recommended Practice
