	developing a technical standard
	for measuring the radio

	from wireless phones and other
	wireless handsets with the
	participation and leadership of
	FDA scientists and engineers.
	The standard, “Recommended
	Practice for Determining the
	Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption
	Rate (SAR) in the Human Body
	Due to Wireless Communications

S a fety	Techniques,” sets forth the first
	consistent test methodology for
	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 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 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 exposure to radio frequency energy (RF). Since time is a key
