Consumer Information on SAR

This Model Phone Meets the Government’s

Requirements for Exposure to Radio Waves. Your

wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It

is designed and manufactured not to exceed the

emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF)

energy set by the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. These

FCC exposure limits are derived from the

recommendations of two expert organizations, the

National Council on Radiation Protection and

Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical

and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the

recommendations were developed by scientific and

engineering experts drawn from industry,

government, and academia after extensive reviews

of the scientific literature related to the biological

effects of RF energy. The exposure limit for wireless

mobile phones employs a unit of measurement

known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The

SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF

energy by the human body expressed in units of

watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires

wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6

watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure

limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to

give additional protection to the public and to account

for any variations in measurements. Tests for SAR

are conducted using standard operating positions

specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at

its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
