Health and Safety Information 159• Health Protection Agency:http://www.hpa.org.uk/Topics/Radiation/.• US Food and Drug Administration:http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/HomeBusinessandEntertainment/CellPhones/default.htm.Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)Certification InformationYour wireless phone is a radio transmitter andreceiver. It is designed and manufactured not toexceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF)energy set by the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from therecommendations of two expert organizations: theNational Council on Radiation Protection andMeasurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electricaland Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, therecommendations were developed by scientific andengineering experts drawn from industry,government, and academia after extensive reviewsof the scientific literature related to the biologicaleffects of RF energy.The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wirelessmobile phones employs a unit of measurementknown as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). TheSAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RFenergy by the human body expressed in units ofwatts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requireswireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial marginof safety to give additional protection to the publicand to account for any variations in measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standard operatingpositions accepted by the FCC with the phonetransmitting at its highest certified power level in alltested frequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, theactual SAR level of the phone while operating can bewell below the maximum reported value. This isbecause the phone is designed to operate atmultiple power levels so as to use only the powerrequired to reach the network. In general, the closeryou are to a wireless base station antenna, thelower the power output of the phone.Before a new model phone is available for sale tothe public, it must be tested and certified to the FCCthat it does not exceed the SAR limit established bythe FCC. Tests for each model phone are performedin positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and wornon the body) as required by the FCC. For body-wornoperation, this phone has been tested and meetsFCC RF exposure guidelines when used with anaccessory that contains no metal and that positionsthe mobile device a minimum of 1.0 cm from thebody.Use of other accessories may not ensurecompliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. TheFCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
