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
(FCC) 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 that were
developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and through 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 wireless phones employs a
unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg *.
*In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 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 measurements.
