It isdesigned and manufactured not to exceed the exposurelimits for Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from therecommendations of two expert organizations: the NationalCouncil on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP)and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developedby scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry,government, and academia after extensive reviews of thescientific literature related to the biological effects of RFenergy.The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobilephones employs a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of therate of absorption of RF energy by the human bodyexpressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCCrequires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
