patible” hearing aid at the same time. This standard was
approved by the IEEE in 2000.
The FDA continues to monitor the use of wireless phones
for possible interactions with other medical devices.
Should harmful interference be found to occur, the FDA
will conduct testing to assess the interference and work
to resolve the problem.

Consumer Information on
SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This Model Phone Meets the Government’s
Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves. Your
wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish per-
mitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using stan-
dard operating positions specified by the FCC with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level
