Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radiofrequency (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 standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough 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 mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg
(*)
. Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions accepted 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.
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 the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The
tests are performed in positions and locations (i.e., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model.
(*)In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 Watts/kilogram
(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.
