measuring the rate at
which RF is deposited
in the heads of wireless
phone users. The
test method uses
a tissue-simulating
model of the human
head. Standardized
SAR test methodology
is expected to greatly
improve the consistency
of measurements made
at different laboratories
on the same phone.
SAR is the measure-
ment of the amount
of energy absorbed
in tissue, either by the
whole body or a small
part of the body. It is
measured in watts/kg (or
milliwatts/g) of matter.
This measurement
is used to determine
whether a wireless phone
complies with safety
guidelines.
9. What steps can I
take to reduce my
exposure to Radio
Frequency energy
from my wireless
phone?
If there is a risk from
these products — and
at this point we do not
know that there is — it
is probably very small.
But if you are concerned
about avoiding even
potential risks, you can
take a few simple steps
to minimize your expo-
sure to Radio Frequency
(RF) energy. Since time
is a key factor in how
much exposure a person
receives, reducing the
amount of time spent
using a wireless phone
will reduce RF exposure.
If you must conduct
extended conversations
by wireless phone every
day, you could place
