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
measurement 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 expo-
sure 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 exposure 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 more distance
between your body and the source of the RF,
since the exposure level drops off dramatically
