Phones and other products authorized since June 2, 2000,
should have the maximum SAR levels noted directly on the
"Grant of Equipment Authorization." For phones and products
authorized between about mid-1998 and June 2000, detailed
information on SAR levels is typically found in the exhibits
associated with the grant. Once a grant is accessed, the exhibits
can be viewed by clicking on "View Exhibit." Grants authorized
prior to 1998 are not part of the electronic database but, rather,
have been documented in the form of paper records.
The FCC database does not list phones by model number.
However, consumers may find SAR information from other
sources as well. Some wireless phone manufacturers make SAR
information available on their own Web sites. In addition, some
non-government Web sites provide SARs for specific models of
wireless phones. However, the FCC has not reviewed these
sites and makes no guarantees of their accuracy. Finally, phones
certified by the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet
Association (CTIA) are required to provide SAR information to
consumers in the instructional materials that come with the
phones.
8. Do hands-free kits for wireless phones reduce risks from
exposure to RF emissions?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions
from wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that hands-
free kits reduce risks. Hands-free kits can be used with wireless
phones for convenience and comfort. These systems reduce the
absorption of RF energy in the head because the phone, which
is the source of the RF emissions, will not be placed against the
head. On the other hand, if the phone is mounted against the
waist or other part of the body during use, then that part of the
body will absorb more RF energy. Wireless phones marketed in
the U.S. are required to meet safety requirements regardless of
whether they are used against the head or against the body.
Either configuration should result in compliance with the safety
limit.
9. Do wireless phone accessories that claim to shield the head
from RF radiation work?
Since there are no known risks from exposure to RF emissions
from wireless phones, there is no reason to believe that
accessories that claim to shield the head from those emissions
