urgent enough to merit a call for
emergency services. But you can
still use your wireless phone to
lend a hand. If you see a broken-
down vehicle posing no serious
hazard, a broken traffic signal, a
minor traffic accident where no
one appears injured or a vehicle
you know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or other
special non-emergency wireless
number.
The above tips are meant as general
guidelines. Before deciding to use
your mobile device while operating
a vehicle, it is recommended that
you consult your applicable
jurisdiction’s local laws or other
regulations regarding such use. Such
laws or other regulations may
prohibit or otherwise restrict the
manner in which a driver may use
his or her phone while operating a
vehicle.
Consumer Information onSAR(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
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by
the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government. These FCC exposure
limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel
on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) and the
Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both
cases, the recommendations were
developed by scientific and
engineering experts drawn from
industry, government, and academia
after extensive reviews of the
scientific literature related to the
biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure Limit for wireless
mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR is
a measure of the rate of absorption
of RF energy by the human body
expressed in units of watts per
kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per
