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 and 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 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
