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 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 antenna, the lower the power
output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does
not exceed the limit established by the government adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
