and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientic
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientic studies. The
standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wirelessGSM
Digital Mobile Telephones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for
SAR are conducted with theGSM Digital Mobile Telephone transmitting at its
highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certied power level, the actual SAR level of theGSM
Digital Mobile Telephone while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because theGSM Digital Mobile Telephone 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 antenna, the lower the
power output. Before aGSM Digital Mobile Telephone model is available for sale
to the public, it must be tested and certied to the FCC that it does not exceed
the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure.
