Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals (SA)
A cordless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limit for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the US government and Canada. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and established permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population. These guidelines are
based on the safety standards previously set by both US and
international standard bodies. These standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standards for cordless phones employs a unit of
measure known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit set by the FCC and Canada is 1.6W/kg averaged over one
gram of tissue.
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 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. 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 government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions
and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as
