In June 2000, the FDA entered into a cooperative
research and development agreement through which
additional scientific research is being conducted.
The FCC issued its own website publication stating
that "there is no scientific evidence that proves that
wireless device usage can lead to cancer or a variety
of other problems, including headaches, dizziness or
memory loss". This publication is available at http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety or through the FCC at (888)
225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC.
What does "SAR" mean?
In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, and other agencies,
established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless
devices in the United States. Before a wireless device
model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC
that it does not exceed limits established by the
FCC. One of these limits is expressed as a Specific
Absorption Rate, or "SAR. " SAR is a measure of the
rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for
SAR are conducted with the device transmitting at its
highest power level in all tested frequency bands. Since
1996, the FCC has required that the SAR of handheld
wireless devices not exceed 1.6 watts per kilogram,
averaged over one gram of tissue. Although the SAR
is determined at the highest power level, the actual
SAR value of a wireless device while operating can be
less than the reported SAR value. This is because the
SAR value may vary from call to call, depending on
factors such as proximity to a cell site, the proximity
of the device to the body while in use, and the use of
hands-free devices. Before a device 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
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this device when worn on
the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.25 W/kg.
While there may be differences between SAR levels of
various devices and at various positions, they all meet
the government requirement for safe exposure. The
FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as
in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
SAR information on this model device is on file with the
FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section
of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on
FCC ID BEJV905. For more information about SARs,
see the FCC's OET Bulletins 56 and 65 at http://www.

Industry Association website at http://www.ctia.org/

to contact the manufacturer of your device.
