Speciic Absorption Rate (SAR)
Certiication Information
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure
limits for Radio Frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These FCC RF exposure limits are derived
from the recommendations of two expert
organizations: the National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases,
the recommendations were developed by
scientiic and engineering experts drawn
from industry, government, and academia
after extensive reviews of the scientiic
literature related to the biological effects of
RF energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for
wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Speciic
Absorption Rate (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 SAR limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public
and to account for any variations in
measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the phone transmitting at its highest
certiied power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined at
the highest certiied power level, the actual
