model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the
federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.
This wireless portable device has been shown to be capable of compliance for
localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/general
population exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1992 and has
been tested in accordance with the measurement procedures specified in
ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.3-1992.
Part 22 AMPS Mode - Head Max. SAR: 1.1860 W/Kg
Part 22 AMPS Mode - Body Max. SAR: 1.07 W/Kg
FDA Consumer Update
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that
wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio
frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also
emit very low levels of RF when in stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF
can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many
studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, other
researchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining
the reasons for inconsistent results.
What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer
products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new
