Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy.
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. 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.XX W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.XX 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 phone has been tested when
positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any
metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when properly
used with an appropriate accessory and worn on 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: https://www.ctia.org.
