scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age or health. The exposure standard for wireless fixed phoned employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limits set by the FCC are
1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
phone transmitting as its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the 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. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station, the lower the output power.
