TomTom NAVIGATION SYSTEM Reference Manual page 116

The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organisa-
tions through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a sub-
stantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of measurement known as the Spe-
cific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., worn on
the body) as required by the FCC for each model of usage.
