understanding exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy
The Atlanta is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When the phone is
on, it intermittently receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio
waves). That energy level varies in order to achieve optimum performance –
so it’s higher in areas with poor reception and lower in areas with good
reception.
Your phone is designed to comply with safety requirements for exposure to
radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific guidelines that
include safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using a standardized method
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used
frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various network
operator phone models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines
for exposure to radio waves.
