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 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 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
