Consumer Information
on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
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
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
