and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines
include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal
Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by
Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with
the mobile 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 mobile phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the mobile 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 of the
mobile phone. Before a mobile phone model is available for sale to
the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must
be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested is
0.689W/Kg for use at the ear and 0.687 W/Kg for use close to the
body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
mobile phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation,
the mobile phone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that
it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 15
mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned,
they might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure
by limiting the length of calls, or using “hands-free” devices to keep
mobile phones away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193).
