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

S a

academia after extensive reviews

f e

of the scientific literature related

ty

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 phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power required to reach the
