Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive

international safety guidelines, developed by scientific organizations,

e.g. International

Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

(ICNIRP) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.

(IEEE), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific

studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave

exposure f

or the general population. The levels include a safety

margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age

and health, and to account for any variations in measurements.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the

mount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using

a device. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power

level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the device

while being operated can be well below the value. Th

is is because the

device is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the

network.

Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be

tested and certified by the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC), ensuring that it does no

t exceed the limit established by the

government

-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are

performed in positions and locations (that is, at the ear and worn on

the body) as required by the FCC for each model. For body worn

operation, this devic

e has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure

guidelines when the handset is positioned a minimum of 15 mm from

the body with an accessory that contains no metal part. Use of other

accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure

guidelines.

The SA

R limit adopted by USA and Canada is 1.6 watts/kilogram

(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value

reported

to the FCC and IC for this device type when tested for use at

the ear is 1.

040W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is

0.873

W/kg.
