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) 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 Council 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 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
