Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
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 (FCC) of the
U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines are based on the
safety standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and through
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 phones employs a unit
of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the FCC is
1.6W/kg.
*
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands.
*. In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) aver
-
aged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorpo-
rates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any varia
-
tions in measurements.
