Consumer Information on SAR
(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) |
Safety | 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 |
104engineering 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 kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the
