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
phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although 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.
Because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels
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 (e.g.,
at the ear and worn on the body)
as required by the FCC for each
model.
This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the
back of the phone kept 0.59
