7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency

energy exposure I can get by using my wireless

phone?

All phones sold in the United States must comply

with Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

guidelines that limit Radio Frequency (RF) energy

exposures. The FCC established these guidelines

in consultation with the FDA and the other federal

health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF

exposure from wireless phones is set at a Specific

Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6

W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety

standards developed by the Institute of Electrical

and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National

Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement.

The exposure limit takes into consideration the

body’s ability to remove heat from the tissues

that absorb energy from the wireless phone and

is set well below levels known to have effects.

Manufacturers of wireless phones must report

the RF exposure level for each model of phone

to the FCC. The FCC website (http://www.fcc.gov/

oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the FCC

identification number on your phone so you can find

your phone’s RF exposure level in the online listing.
