Once you have the FCC ID number for aparticular phone, follow the instructions on the website and it shouldprovide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular phone.Additional product specific SAR information can also be obtained atwww.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.Consumer Information on Wireless PhonesThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series ofQuestions and Answers for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF)exposure from wireless phones. The FDA publication includes thefollowing information:What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones withbuilt-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. Thesetypes of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radiofrequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phoneand the user's head. These RF exposures are limited by FederalCommunications Commission safety guidelines that were developed withthe advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When thephone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF isdrastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly withincreasing distance from the source. The so-called “cordless phones,”which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house,typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RFexposures well within the FCC's compliance limits.Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problemsare associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however,that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levelsof radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Whereashigh levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposureto low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no knownadverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have notfound any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that somebiological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmedby additional research. In some cases, other researchers have haddifficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons forinconsistent results.What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emittingconsumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as itdoes with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has
