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 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 previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
•American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C9.1-199
•National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 8. 198
•International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 199
•Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code . The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1. 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 usage. Normal conditions
only ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio
transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the
safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close
antenna during operation of the equipment.
