Health and Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on the safety standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and through evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of
measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The
SAR limit recommended by the FCC is
1.6W/kg.
*
SAR tests 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 so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to
a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of
the phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the public, it
must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
