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 Counsel 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 bands.
Although SAR is determined at
the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of
the phone while operating can
