Your Mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured to exceed limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communication
Commission (FCC) of the U.S Government. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of 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 mobile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR, The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/Kg. Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at 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 power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the
U.S, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit establish for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g, at the ear and worn
on the body) reported to the FCC.
